Her performances blend soulful vocals, intricate kora playing, guitar, and storytelling, drawing audiences into songs shaped by nature, connection, motherhood, transformation, and belonging. Miriam\u2019s deep connection with West African music grew through studying the kora in Mali and Guinea, including with master musicians such as Toumani Diabat\u00e9. Returning to Australia, she developed a distinctive sound that weaves rhythmic and melodic influences from West Africa into poetic, emotionally direct songs. A returning WMDF artist, Miriam now comes to Hakodate as a solo performer, sharing music that is warm, transportive, and deeply human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Infinite We Are - Official Film Clip\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fPWIcERUpYI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.miriamlieberman.com.au\">https:\/\/www.miriamlieberman.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/embed\/appl2St1lq996szjO\/shro26P91gH8F7b1L?search=Miriam\" width=\"100%\" height=\"333\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-6661","artist","type-artist","status-publish","hentry","artistscat-artists019"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/6661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
