The special concert and canapes event features some of Perth’s highest quality global musicians with Lucky Oceans and Praashekh Borkar, plus local Indian dancers from the Hindu Association of Pilbara, and a showcase of Roebourne music featuring Ngarluma songman Patrick Churnside, all complemented by delicious food from around the world.

Slide Summit was born out of the migration of two of the world’s top slide instrument players to Perth. Sarod player Praashekh Borkar from India and pedal steel guitarist Lucky Oceans from the United States of America, have both won the highest music awards from their respective countries. Completing the quartet are Indian-Australian multi-instrumentalist Tao Issaro on percussion and Cuban bassist Arvis Mena.

Together, their unique global repertoire explores a musical fusion of Jazz, Blues, Indian Folk, Cuban rhythms, and Irish reels. There’s nothing like the Slide Summit ensemble anywhere else in the world and their boundless musical curiosity and desire to explore emotion-filled musical stories with outstanding musicianship makes this new group truly exceptional.

The World Music Café event also includes a delicious menu created by local multicultural Karratha caterer.

“We’re delighted to present this spectacular concert of extraordinary music that reflects the contemporary global culture of Australia,” said World Music Café producer, Jon Cope.

Described by the UWA Centre for Social Impact as ‘An Oasis of Integration in Our Country,’ World Music Café was a national ‘Social Entrepreneur of the Year’ finalist in the 2022 Australian Third Sector Awards.
