Sounds of the Indian Ocean!!! A Perth Festival Event.

On the first day of autumn a somewhat small group of Wheelies travelled to Scarborough Amphitheatre to enjoy the Indian Ocean Sounds.   Cheryl, was the driver on this occasion and was a bit worried about parking, but we were so lucky as we found an Acrod bay immediately and it was a quick walk to our seats.  We sat looking at the Indian Ocean as the sun dipped over the horizon.  It was a little blustery, but not enough to dampen our enjoyment.

The sounds were removed from the Indian Ocean though.  Two groups played for us.

The Joy blend traditional Zulu music with a cappella voices. Originating in Hammarsdale, South Africa with five voices there are nine voices now.  A lovely rich sound!!!

Lindigo  are from the Reunion Islands.  Inspired by their island home’s rich cultural heritage, the music of this eight piece group blends African, Indian, Malagasy and European melodies and rhythms in a colourful mixture which inspires dance and fun. They certainly had the crowd inspired!

Everyone opted for going home without seeking food or drinks so it was an early night for us all!
