Hear Tjaka present an improvised sound performance, featuring a new instrumental line-up of Didjeribone (slide didgeridoo), hemp didgeridoo, guitar, and keys.

Fusing electronic and hip-hop with ancestral influences, their music is both contemporary and deeply connected to their Aboriginal heritage and traditions. Tjaka have cemented their reputation as an unmissable live act, performing at festivals nationally and internationally, including Splendour in the Grass, Dark Mofo, and Pasiwali Festival, Taiwan.

This activation is presented as a part of Daniel Boyd: Rainbow Serpent (Version).
