Contemporary Pacific music collective Spectrum will be performing with Return of the Dragon at Yat Sen Hall—a full-band showcase performed as an i sevu: an offering of first fruits to the community that raised them.
Opening the evening is The Wires, a rising band of Yat Sen School students making their home-stage debut.
The night will showcase 4 Quarters band, Vā and The Francisco Bhagwan Project—a performance-led, genre-fluid set fronted by Francisco Bhagwan.
The production features live painting by Anga’aefonu Bain-Vete and on-stage hosting by Atueta “Tuets” Rabuka.
Calling the concert an i sevu is intentional as in Fijian tradition, a sevu is the first and best portion brought in gratitude; it can also be the first public presentation of new work, centering on accountability.
Tickets are currently $17 online at ticketmate.com.fj or you can pay $20 at the door.
Snacks and soft drinks will be available from the Yat Sen Tuck Shop and Student Council stall (hot dogs, lemon iced tea)
There also will be a Kava Bar selling $10 a basin with $5 refills, House rules: No alcohol; no outside food.
Doors open at 5pm, while the show starts at 6.30pm.
