Under the dynamic guidance of well-known Australian born ‘Harmony Maestro’ Brain Martin, a group of amazing musicians and A Capella choir groups that have come together specifically for this event will gather to deliver a rich tapestry of harmony inspired ‘world music’. So read on to meet the co-creators of this event.

World Fusion Band

Brian has a driving passion to “support the Arts by supporting the Artists”.
Over the last few years he has been developing World Fusion events where he brings skilled singers together with high quality musicians of different World Cultures using an unusual variety of instruments to create a metaphor of unity, understanding and joy.

So in many ways the people who create the foundations for these concerts are the artists who make up the world fusion band. The instruments being used by the 2009 Harmony Planet “Waraku” World fusion Band include piano, trombone, Jazz & other guitars, Kalimba, Jembe, Violin, Australian Aboriginal peoples didgeridoo ‘Yidaki’ and a range of drum and percussion.

A Cappella is the art of singing without using instrumental accompaniment.
The blending of voices in harmony often take the part of various musical instruments, whilst adding an unusual warmth & dynamic found in no other
singing form. The roots of this wonderful style are found in
globally sourced traditional ‘world music’.

This year we have two groups who will be performing this ‘new world’ style
  of rhythm & harmonies. One group created specifically for the WFC - Brian Martin’s ‘New World Rhythm’ which is a local performance choir who love
to entertain with a variety of music styles from the rhythmic sounds of
world music including African, Celtic, Greek and Russian, to the sweet
traditional tones of gospel and folk music. Also this year we have
a special appearance from the “Make a Wish’ choir based in Hirakata
and led by Chiharu Inoue, also a ‘Harmony Leader trainee with Brian.

Together, these groups are a family, a tribe who specialize in spreading
joy & unity through singing stunning harmonies and having fun.

2009 NWR

In preparation for the HAmrony Planet World Fusion concert “Waraku” on the 3rd November 2009, the NWR choir has dedicated 9 weeks of performance training and song rehearsal in which they learn many different techniques for harmony and blend, voice quality amplification and expression of self through the many song styles of world folk as well as modern music. The members, who have during this 9 week process dived in deeply to give themselves many experiences of the richness and joy possible through the world of music will be sharing that pure heart energy with us all at the Harmony Planet WFC Waraku 2009.

Through sharing these multi-layered harmonies of joy they will be offering many opportunities for all of us to experience together the deep peace that comes with recognising we truly are ALL ONE Earth Family & how fun-filled that can be!
