Yindi Garra Sweden

Yindi Garra means "the child’s song" in the language of the aborigines that live in the northern parts of Australia. The multi-cultural members of Yindi Garra have, through their music, found something that people all over the world have in common - dancing. Yindi Garra are influenced by different varieties of folk music. A song starting with a Northern jojk transforms into an Arabian theme and these two are then merged to form a new kind of music where many cultures unite. Yindi Garra want to take the listener to the world of dreams for a while. The first half of the show is slow and suggestive. In the second half, Yindi Garra show a multitude of rhythms in something that they call Tribal techno.
