To mark the 20th Anniversary of the Birralee Blokes in 2023 past members were invited to join the Blokes to perform. This piece I Pharadisi was performed at the first Birralee Blokes performance in May, 2003 and has become a staple of their repertoire linking their past and present members.
The score was sourced from "Freedom is Coming - Songs of Protest and Praise from South Africa" edited by Anders Nyberg.
