Frank Yamma

Australian indigenous songwriter sings of cultural degradation, alcohol abuse and, on the bright side, the beauty of the desert and finding a girl you'd like to take on a date. His ballads are too often slushily slow yet always grittily voiced, and here he's touring in support of new album 'Countryman', the first release on new label Wantock, specialising in music from from Indigenous Australia and Melanesia. Fans of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu will definitely want to take a look.
