Kuranda Roots Festival 2013
Kuranda Roots is now in it’s 11th year and is a celebration of music and creative culture aimed at bringing together people from all generations and all walks of life in one love and unity. The festival spans three days, with a program featuring an exciting array of bands, DJ’s, dancers, workshops, a market village and is very family friendly. Kuranda, known as Ngunbay (meaning place of the platypus in the local Djabugay language), is a small vibrant town of creative souls nestled in the World Heritage listed rainforest of Far North Queensland. Kuranda’s denizens are an eccentric mix of indigenous Djabugay, Bulway and Tableland tribes, cattle farmers, hippies from the original Aquarius generation, world gypsies and their numerous offspring. Kuranda’s roots run very deep. For countless millennia the Djabugay and Bulway people have called Kuranda home. It is an honour to be able to hold Kuranda Roots Festival on their sacred land and to have them share with us their culture, their dance and their music. |
