A multi-instrumental, multitalented ensemble from tropical north Queensland, Kamerunga takes a big stick of funk, jazz and reggae to revive traditional Celtic-influenced colonial standards. Combining folk influences with rock, classical and world music elements and melding mandolin, fiddle and guitar wizardry with sizzling saxophone, keyboards and a dynamic rhythm section, Kamerunga take listeners on a serpentine journey, shifting the material from whisky-soaked shanty swagger to reggae-infused bush ballad to lounge-lizard jazz, sometimes within the same song. The band will be launching the follow-up to its ARIA-nominated debut album ‘The Push’ at the festival. |
