Weaving a moving musical tapestry through an evening of Pacific
Islander song, the six fascinating women of the Barefoot Divas, from
New Zealand, Australia, and Papua New Guinea, create stirring music
drawn from the struggles and aspirations of their indigenous cultures.
Backed by a six-piece band, the women sing in multiple native
languages, melding traditional Maori, Aboriginal, Papua New Guinean,
and Roma Gypsy music into a compelling contemporary hybrid of soaring
melodies and lush harmonies. "Whether or not you believe in divinity,
being in the presence of...the bold and brashy Barefoot Divas is an
undeniably otherworldly experience" (Daily Telegraph, Sydney).
