The Queen of the Bandaral Ngadu, Kankawa Nagarra plays Tumbarumba at Nest Cinema Cafe. This will be as part of a national tour to promote her new album ‘Wirlmarni’.
Kankawa Nagarra is a Walmatjarri Elder, teacher and mentor, human rights advocate, and a passionate environmental activist, born in the traditional lands of the Gooniyandi and Walmatjarri peoples of north WA. She sings in the Aboriginal Australian blues, country, and gospel styles and writes songs filled with empathy about the great struggles she sees around her.
Archer will perform an opening set of his own folk songs, and will join Kankawa for a couple of numbers too. He has been described as a country blues crooner poet and is a truly captivating live performer. Darren Hanlon will sit in with Kankawa on guitar and lend a few harmonies as well.
Children under 12 are free.
Dinner available at Cafe Nest prior to the event, please call to book a table.
