ILE ILU (House of Rhythm) is a women’s rhythm empowerment collective based in Sydney/Central Coast on the lands of the Gadigal, Bidjigal, and Darkinjung people.

Directed by Marina Da Silva, ILE ILU aims to connect people’s spirits to heartfelt joy, inspiration and aliveness through the beautiful pulsating rhythms of Afro-Brazilian influenced drum and dance.

Diversity is our strength, with ILE ILU artists coming from different cultural backgrounds, ages, and life experiences. Each drawing upon our unique lineages, we channel and co-create rhythms, music, and dance – inspired by multicultural Australia, Brazil and beyond.
