Across Worlds of Sound at Desa Potato Head Bali

This season at Desa Potato Head Bali, live music takes centre stage. Across two special nights, artists from opposite sides of the world arrive in Bali to share something personal and profound, a meeting point of sound, soul, and culture.

First, New Zealand’s Connan Mockasin transforms Klymax Discotheque with his cinematic dreamscapes and surrealist charm. A week later, Brazil’s Azymuth and Sabrina Malheiros join Indonesia’s Indra Lesmana on the Beach Club grass area for a one-night-only jazz celebration that bridges continents and generations.

New Zealand musician, singer, and producer Connan Mockasin brings his distinctive world of psychedelic pop, funk, and experimental soul to Klymax for an intimate live show. Known for his dreamlike compositions and singular artistry, Mockasin has garnered a cult following through albums like Caramel (2013) and Jassbusters (2018), along with collaborations with James Blake and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

For one night only, Klymax slows down for something different — a rare, unplugged, fully seated performance, with a film component woven throughout the evening. The result is a cinematic, slow-burning experience that redefines the boundaries of a live show.

A week later, the stage shifts to the Beach Club grass area for a cross-continental celebration of jazz and soul. Brazil’s jazz-funk pioneers Azymuth — often called the godfathers of Brazilian jazz-fusion — return to Asia as part of their 2025 album tour. They’re joined by Sabrina Malheiros, bringing the sound of contemporary bossa nova, and Indonesia’s own Indra Lesmana, a defining figure in the nation’s jazz movement for over four decades.

Together, these icons trace a rare and beautiful line between Brazil and Indonesia’s jazz traditions — a dialogue that merges rhythm, heritage, and improvisation under the open Bali sky. Supporting sets come from Eric Duncan, Luma, and Marvel.

Both events continue Desa Potato Head’s commitment to creativity, community and sustainability – where music, art, and culture come together on Bali’s Petitenget Beach.
