World Music Concerts: Slide Summit

The Livelighter World Music 2025 concert series showcases a diversity of high-quality music and dance from around the globe at the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre. Enjoy these free Sunday afternoon sojourns featuring some of our top multicultural talent.

There’s nothing like this ensemble anywhere else in the world! Slide Summit was born out of the highly unlikely migration of two of the world’s top slide players to Perth. Sarod player Praashekh Borkar from India and pedal steel guitarist Lucky Oceans from the United States of America, have won the highest music awards from their respective countries.

Completing the quartet are Indian-Australian multi-instrumentalist Tao Issaro on percussion and Cuban-born Arvis Mena on bass. Together, their unique global repertoire covers Jazz, Blues, Indian Folk, North African grooves, and Irish reels. Their boundless musical curiosity and desire to tell emotion filled musical stories with outstanding musicianship makes this new group truly exceptional.
