Butchulla Songman Fred Leone and musical polymath Samuel Pankhurst are Yirinda. They unite an ancient Aboriginal language with sublime modern production to invoke thousands of generations of story and culture, whilst emerging as something entirely new.In a live context it takes on a weighted significance—with Fred, whose background encompasses a culture stretching back millennia with contemporary hiphop, introducing and contextualising songs in his inimitable fashion. He’s both an MC and a master of ceremony.
Samuel Pankhurst’s productions are contemporary exercises in sonic pointillism, evoking the vocabulary of electronic music while retaining a grounding in physical instrumentation. It’s a fine pairing to Leone in that it manages to encompass two universes.
Together they are beyond compelling—a transcendent experience that rewards deep listening—and when joined by a wider ensemble they are a force to be reckoned with.
