A remarkable fusion of Australian and Cambodian musical talent took center stage on April 25th, the Australian Embassy’s Chargé d’Affaires, offering an electrifying evening that embraced diversity and inclusivity.

Interim Australian Ambassador Pablo Kang stood alongside Mitch Tambo, an esteemed Australian World Music Star and First Nations recording artist, and Sai, a prominent Cambodian singer-songwriter, for an unforgettable community concert.
