Japanese hip-hop acts Rude-α and ¥uk-B
links up with Filipino rappers Alisson Shore and Waiian and
Indonesian singer-songwriter Tanayu for “Our New Songlines 2023,”
a multi-disciplinary effort that brings together like-minded artists from the
Asian region in their bid towards “weaving new music, using their imagination
as a source of inspiration, while searching for a way to hope for the future.”
The newly minted collective is set to perform
at the Music Town Oto-Ichiba in Koza, Japan on August 26, 2023, as part of Basketball World Cup 2023’s series of sideshows in three key cities co-hosting
the tournament: Manila (the Philippines), Jakarta (Indonesia), and Koza
(Japan).

Aside from the individual and collaborative
performances, the participating acts are currently working on a new song that
reflects the vision and theme of Songlines—the invisible paths that have
been passed down among the indigenous Aboriginal people of Australia as a guide
towards one’s journey into the new world.
The official statement shares, “These five
artists will create and present their works with the keywords of ‘change’ in a
new era, ‘hope’ for tomorrow, and ‘mutual understanding’ in a land of different
cultures and values. In August, Koza, Manila, and Jakarta will host the
Basketball World Cup. The enthusiasm of the three cities through sports will be
converted into the form of music and transmitted to the world from Music Town
Oto-Ichiba.”
The music project is presented by Okinawa City
and Music Town Oto-Ichiba in partnership with Music Lane Okinawa, The Rest Is Noise PH, and SRM
Bookings and Services.
