OKA's music brings musical traditions and cultures together - ancient and modern - black and white. The traditional rhythms and stories of DidgeriSTU's Yadaki (didgeridoo) weave throughout pumping electronic beats, vocals, exotic woodwinds and world percussion - a unique fusion of organic world sounds and electronic music like no other.
This particular album springs from the title ( OneTalk ). In the island areas north of Australia and Papua New Guinea there are hundreds of distinct languages which makes communication across tribal boundaries very hard. If we can speak together we are family, kin or friends - we are onetalk. This music is designed to cross all barriers.
OKA's live shows are inspiring, uplifting and emotionally charged, subtle and spontaneous. Their onstage energy is thrilling audiences wherever they perform. Having established themselves here in Australia, OKA have the world in their sights. They recently toured Canada for three months playing back to back festivals, from Vancouver Island in the east to Halifax in the west. They are heading back for the Canadian summer of 2005. After a successful visit to Singapore late in 2002 and again in November 2004, including some hot club shows at INDOCHINE, the taste for asia will see them back there in 2005. During a recent visit to New Zealand, OKA perofrmed live on national television (TV1 - Good Morning). In the last couple of months they have had some great street parties in Byron Bay, playing for the beautiful crew at Planet Corroboree, and heaps of good vibes from their gig at Joyfest in the Gold coast hinterland.
