The Merindas
Saturday 8 July 7:00pm
The
Merindas are the collective force of Ballardong Whadjuk and Nyoongar
woman Kristel Kickett (from Tammin, WA) and Candice Lorrae of Jawoyn and
Thursday Island heritage (born in Darwin, NT). Now based in Melbourne,
these soul sisters are trail-blazing with their innovative style of
Indigenous music.
The Merindas formed in 2012, singing Motown hits
for the premiere of The Sapphires movie. What was supposed to be a
one-off show became a full-time career, having performed more than 400
shows in the last nine years. They have since gone on to produce their own
music and live show garnering rave reviews, playing festivals, live
venues, featuring in event curations, supporting international stars
Brandy and Craig David respectively, and appearing at major corporate
events across Australia. They describe their unique sound as “electronic
pop with a dance-hall feel, alongside hip hop and R&B influences.”
Now
The Merindas, with their infectious energy, soaring vocals, engaging
personas and double the amount of swagger and sass will perform for you at
West Gippsland Arts Centre to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2023.
