Rhythm Hunter Performance

The Rhythm Hunters perform at corporate functions, community events, cultural ceremonies, gallery openings and music festivals.
 
Deep resounding rhythms are pounded out on large, Australian-made wine barrel Taiko. Music is punctuated with tight physical choreography including complex stick-throwing routines; fast interlocking patterns on bronze Talempong and a melodic family of ornate pacific wood blocks.
 
Melodies are played on wind instruments including the vibrant horn-like flute called the Saluang and some of its close relatives, the Sampelong and Bansi, also from Sumatra.
 
While The Rhythm Hunters are exclusively an Australian group, the stronger musical influences come from Japan, Indonesia and the experience of its members.

The Rhythm Hunters are also happy to help design and create a specific show to suit your event.
