Yirinda has been performed at Mona Foma, Melbourne Recital Centre, Brisbane Festival, HOTA and more.

It is a stunningly beautiful record that combines, ancient Aboriginal language with sublime modern production.

Fred’s role as a Songman sees him as one of the custodians of the traditional songs of the Queensland Butchulla tribe and one of a handful of keepers and custodians of their language.

Often described as ‘holographic’ and ‘visceral’, Yirinda’s sound is a result of Fred and Samuel’s willingness to be guided by the ancient stories of Fred’s old people. Yirinda means ‘Now’ in Butchulla language. Butchulla country is in the Fraser Coast region including K’gari.
