A Shakura exclusive!

Posted on Friday, November 6th, 2009 in Fest'Napuan, Snapshots, String bands, Video

String band Shakura are renowned for their original and sometimes cheeky take on the genre, incorporating elements of pop music into their style. Here, they perform live to air on Radio Australia outside their rehearsal room in Anabrou, just prior to their appearance at Fest’nalenga.

It’s a family affair revolving around the extended Binihi clan, some of whom have now retired from the band while nephews and sons take their place. We’re very excited to be able to bring you this special, intimate performance, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
