Chafic Ataya was born in Mount Lebanon in 1939. Despite struggle through continual wars and poverty he has compiled four books of poetry published in English, The Earth Woman, Blades of Time, Tears in Wine and Empty Shell. He is a poet whose basic belief confirms the living organic aspect of the Universe and that Man himself is no less than an ever-living being.

Like the most free bird crying joyfully in an open squeezable magic forest, this most elegant Bahian raises her head & sings.
From the famous Carlinhos Brown’s Timbalada (a fresh percussion ensemble from Bahia / Brazil) Touring around the world here in Sydney she performs in her uniqueness, the wondrous sound of Brazil.
