YIRINDA - ALBUM LAUNCH

  • The Majestic Theatre 3 Factory Street Pomona, QLD, 4568 Australia (map)

Yirinda combine ancient Aboriginal language with sublime modern production. Fred Leone and Samuel Pankhurst’s music invokes thousands of generations of story and culture, while emerging as something entirely new.

Fred is one of three Butchulla Songmen – a song and language custodian for the Butchulla people from the Fraser Coast region of Queensland, including K’gari (formerly known as Fraser Island). He sings the songs on this album in the endangered Butchulla language, now spoken by only a handful of people. Samuel is an internationally acclaimed contrabassist/producer known for his kaleidoscopic harmonies and polyrhythmic mastery.

Yirinda are touring nationally, with their band, to promote their new, self-titled album, which is out on the 16th of February and performing at the Majestic Theatre on Saturday April 13th.

Doors & Bar open 6pm Show starts 7pm. Tickets $30
