Sol Nation is an Australian world music band, and a meeting of nations and cultures - East Timorese, Indigenous and Australian. Sol Nation embodies Melbourne’s multiculturalism and what can be achieved through music - bridging cultures, languages and borders.
East Timorese vocalist Paulo Almeida is the voice of Sol Nation, soaring and weaving through the music in a mixture of languages, a product of his life experience living in several different countries during his homeland’s occupation by Indonesia. Languages include English, Portuguese and his mother tongue Tetum. Paulo is supported by Indigenous songstress Deline Briscoe, whose rich voice and deep musicality magnify the stories and messages told through Sol Nation’s music.
Stylistically, the music draws its influences from Indigenous and Jamaican reggae, traditional East Timorese folksong, African dance music and hiphop. The band has used music to highlight the problems faced by the people of East Timor, and to push for International justice on their behalf.
