Bortier Okoe is a West African composer, master drummer, dancer, multi-instrumentalist and singer from Ghana and revered as one of the most electrifying talents to emerge in African music.

Bortier sings messages of peace, anti-poverty, connections, resilience, and tolerance - communicating across boundaries and countries. His unifying lyrics convey strong messages for humanity while his dynamic live performances are exhilarating, delivered with power, grace and a sense of humour. Bortier's music is unique and irresistible and has audiences on their feet worldwide.

Supporting will be The Black Sistaz.

Uplifting island reggae and soul meets traditional sounds, language and sweet harmonies. Arriving as one of the first West Papuan refugee families, The now Australian based group musically communicates the journey of living a life in exile.

Influenced by The Legendary West Papuan band - The Black Brothers -whom their late Father was a lead singer and guitarist, this is the very core of who The Black Sistaz are today. A celebration of Identity, with a strong legacy to continue, their music comes a message, and with their message comes a movement.
