Celebrate diversity this Australia Day, with an intimate performance of food, music and storytelling under the western district sky
at 'Highton' (Lismore), with Persian-Mauritian-Australian drummer and songstress Neda Rahmani.
CHERRY, CHERRY (A DINING ROOM TALE WITH NEDA RAHMANI)
Born in Tehran to a Persian father and Mauritian mother, Neda Rahmani arrived in Australia a two-year- old refugee. Over twenty years, she has established herself as the quintessential self-made Aussie musician, and bedrock advocate of her community. Home-cooked in a kitchen of song, drums, dance and storytelling, ‘Cherry, Cherry’ is Neda’s unique tale of generosity and loss, of adventure, art, and the making of home. A performance experience like no other. Come share a meal with Neda.
Reflect. Respect. Celebrate. We're all part of the story.
