World renowned producer, rhythmic percussionist and didgeridoo virtuoso
Ganga GiRi (“gun-gah gear-ree”)
New album ‘Good Voodoo’ and Australian Tour.

One of the most uniquely Australian dance acts out there, joining Ganga Giri on stage is rich dub/reggae dancehall vocalist and celebrator Jornick Joe Lick – hailing from French Guyana, drummer Dan Pearson playing live electronic beats, Indigenous songman and dancer Gumaroy and Yeshe Reiners on percussion and melodic world instruments. You can get a sense of one of his live shows up here:

Combining elements of dub, electro, dancehall and trance Ganga Giri’s music is a melting pot of genres and cultures. With a full band sporting everything from congas, djembe, bougarabou, Nigerian talking drum, mbira and indigenous flavours (didgeridoo and dance) he’s appeared everywhere from Glastonbury Festival (UK), Woetsjtock Festival (Netherlands), Boom Festival (Portugal), Fusion Festival (Germany) and the Vancouver Folk Festival (Canada) through to the Woodford Folk and Falls Festivals here in Australia.

There’s also a sample of the album ‘Jump Up’ here: http://soundcloud.com/heapsawill/ganga-giri-jump-up and more info up here www.gangagiri.com.
