About Me |
|
Firstly Oka would like to show their support and respect to all indigenous peoples around the world striving to keep their cultures alive. A special mention to all custodians of this land we call home - Australia. THE OKA SOUND The Oka sound is deeply rooted in the laid back coastal style of our home. I guess it makes people feel how they do when they visit here..chillaxed. Here is a collection of words that we put to together because we always get asked to describe our music: "a fusion of eclectic world sounds, roots, dub, reggae, jazz and organic electronica"... yep it's a lot of words. My favourite description though comes from a new Oka fan in Canada: "i have to say, your music is like nothing i've ever heard. love it! techno-folk-aboriginal-jungle-hippie-rock? damn." THE BAND The core of Oka is Stu (DidgeriStu) and Chris. We are in Canada from June to the end of August for another tour! Hope to catch you at a show somewhere.. blessings from the Oka Lads. |
