TJAKA
Saturday, 6 July
,Doors from 8pm
This year's Black History Month is proud to present acclaimed Brisbane based First Nations band, Tjaka. Hot off the back of a huge 2023, they aren't slowing down in 2024 with their first Aus tour!
Having played Splendour in the Grass (RIP), Dark Mofo, BIGSOUND, and in front of 30,000 people at Taiwan's PASIWALI Festival, Tjaka have proved to be a must see act whenever, and wherever they play. Brothers Geoff and Jake Fabila are descendants of the Jabirr Jabirr tribe in the WA Kimberley and, joined by best mate Felix Fogarty, this Brisbane/Meanjin-based trio fuse electronic beats and lava-hot rap flow, which melt audiences in a crucible of funk, reggae, and dance.
Tjaka's high-energy bangers introduce the use of Didjeribone (a slide didgeridoo, similar to a trombone), ripping guitar solos, and the deep sounds of the FaceBass to create a contemporary Indigenous experience like no other.
Doors from 8pm. Free entry. Hall yeah!
