ABOUT KIWIRRKURRA BAND
The Kiwirrkurra Band originate from the Kiwirrkurra Community in Western Australia and perform a number of tunes in the western desert reggae rock feel.
Their first album was recorded live at Port Hedland after touring through the central desert communities with the Desert Feet Tour for two weeks. It was their first ever public, paid gig and Mary G had the great pleasure of inducting them for their debut performance to the largest audience they had ever entertained. Since then the Kiwirrkurra Band have gone on to produce 2 more beautiful albums with the support of Desert Feet Records and their sponsors.
