Lian Husi Timor

Moving traditional and original songs from the East Timor diaspora

Lian Husi Timor translates to 'Voice Of Timor.' Members of Warrnambool's vibrant and emerging Timor Leste community created this group initially for a Port Fairy Folkie performance in 2023. The group of 15 local performers dress in traditional tais, belak, kaibauk and use native babadok drums and gongs to present a moving and evocative collection of traditional Tetun folk songs, perform Bidu & Tebe Tebe cultural dances and share contemporary Timor songs of loss and survival.
