COOMBA ALL-STARS: Ethno/World/Groove/Jazz: Coomba All-Stars bring old world sonic architecture of Near East thought and Hindustani musical philosophies mixed with the stylings of modern culture. With influences from India, Middle East and Africa, the Coomba All-Stars create an audio landscape, rich in texture and design, the Coomba All-Stars speak a unique and complex language through the medium of Santur (Coomba), Violin (Rocio Ibacache), Alto/Tenor Sax (Matt Lee), Bass (Rendra Freestone) and Kit (Tim Bradley). Coomba All-Stars have played Woodford Folk Festival 25/26, Bundanoon Folk Festival (’25) Majors Creek Festival (’24), Marrickville Music Festival (’24), Illawarra Folk Festival (’24), Hootenanny (’24), Global Groove Festival @ Sydney Fringe Festival (’23) and Bayside Festival (’23). They have shared the stage with crowd favourites such as The Strides, Rhythm Hunters, Midnight Tea Party, On The Stoop, Ile Ilu and Aljamia. Coomba All-Stars relesed their long awaited debut single ‘Arrawarra’ via all streaming platforms on Feb 24th 2026. The music is a collection of thoughts and promises inspired by the wandering path of travelled experiences that have been gathered up during life and spread across an aural spectrum.
