A MERGING of musical genres is planned for this year’s City of Bayswater community concert with hip hoppers, jazz players, swing singers and Indigenous artists sharing a stage for the night.

There’ll be soulful numbers from Noongar duo Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, hip-hop from Noongar/Jingili artist ZERO Emcee, and a jazzy streak from Lucy Iffla and the 950 Express Big Band.

This year’s community concert has been co-named  “Ngala Maya”, a Noongar term meaning “our place” and there’ll also be Aboriginal and contemporary dance and didgeridoo playing.

Bayswater mayor Filomena Piffaretti said in a pre-event press release they aimed to host a community event that’d cater to all ages and interests.

“Bringing together jazz, hip-hop and Indigenous culture means there really is something for everyone at this free event,” Ms Piffaretti said.

It’s free and there’ll be market stalls and food trucks on site at Pat O’Hara Reserve Morley from 4pm to 8.30pm on Saturday February 3.
