Rita Telesia, vocalist and keyboardist, is a confident, loud, and proud Nunda woman representing Vaoala and the Northern suburbs of Melbourne. Rita combines her love of Country and Soul with Samoan and Tongan music. She developed a passion for music from childhood, performing in community settings, at Benetas aged care facility, Planetshakers Church and many community weddings and events. Rita has been a devoted member of Latrobe Lifeskills for over 10 years, and in 2016 won the Latrobe Lifeskills Concert for best performance. In 2019, Rita joined Outer Urban Projects Community Access Program and began training with vocal teachers Stephen Valeri and Lisa Marie Parker. Rita currently works as an emerging artist for Outer Urban Projects.

The Boite's Suitcase: Earth Music Showcase is an opportunity to hear music from all over the world, recognising the contribution that musicians have been making to our lives for thousands of years and the invaluable heritage they carry with them as they move from one place to another. These events do not adhere to any particular genre or style. They offer musicians, wherever they are from, an opportunity to be heard in a city that abounds with diversity but has very limited outlets for showcasing it musically.

Project Coordination: Emiliano Beltzer
This recording was produced by The Boite with support from Outer Urban Projects, Moreland City Council, Australia Council for the Arts and Creative Victoria.
