Mundi

Filled with joy and exuberant energy, Mundi(external link) has captured hearts across the land and far-flung seas.

With a blend of Brazilian and African drums, an array of flutes, voice, dancing, guitar and bass, Mundi’s music encapsulates the reverence for the earth and lures people into an ancient memory of the pulse of life – awakening our dancing selves lurking beneath.

Tamara Smith- flutes, vocals, percussion, Chris Dabinett – guitar, vocals, Mike Story- Bass, Ricardo Stuani – Percussion, plus special guests.

Hera

Hera(external link) is an award-winning Icelandic-Kiwi singer/songwriter who has lost count of how many times she has travelled around the world with her guitar. Her self-titled album was released in 2020 to critical acclaim and reached #1 on the album charts in Iceland.

Hera has a long musical history, including a Gold-selling record, high-rotation radio play, and support slots for the likes of Nick Cave, Joe Cocker, Amanda Palmer, and the Dresden Dolls. 

She has been named 'Best Female Artist' at the Icelandic Music Awards, performed at the famous SXSW festival in Texas, and the iconic Glastonbury in the UK. As well as touring the world from Italy to Indonesia, Australia to the Philippines... even to Greenland, where she played among icebergs at a remote beach in Tasiilaq.
