The Yabu Band
The Yabu band have created a powerful, unique sound aptly described as desert rock/Reggae, The brothers Delson and Boyd Stokes are originally from Kalgoorlie, the goldfields town bordered by the western desert from where they draw their heritage, culture and inspiration. Yabu means Rock/Gold in their language, Wongatha.
Yabu is more than just an indigenous band, they provide a message through song, a vehicle of inspiration that has inspired children through to adults to achieve all they can. They believe there is nothing more important than encouraging today’s youth to have self worth and chase ones dreams.
Delson, Boyd and drummer Jade Masters, have merged their dreamtime stories with memorable contemporary melodies to create one of Australians finest Indigenous albums.
