Get ready for a joyous celebration as The Boite marks its 40th Anniversary! Multicultural music presenter, The Boite, was conceived and born at a time when refugees from the military regimes in Chile and Greece were finding a haven in Australia, a place where they could express their political views and play their music – often also political in intent. From the very first Melbourne concert, on June 1st 1979, The Boite has been a place for communication. People arrive from new places, with different languages and customs, find a welcome and recognition. Every year a tantalising range of concerts, workshops, radio programs and major projects invites in new listeners and artists. To celebrate its 40 years, The Boite’s 40th Birthday will take place on Saturday June 1st. Its theme is looking back and looking forward: The concert will include artists from across the 40 years, including Chilean Alejandro Vargas, who played at the very first concert (aged 15), and young musicians and singers. Alex will be performing with his daughter, Omados will play Greek music, guitarist, Rose de la Montana, and Mitch Tambo will appear alongside Lamine Sonko, Anne Norman, and newly arrived Syrian, Talal Makdesi.
