Firstly Oka would like to show their support and respect to all indigenous peoples around the world striving to keep their cultures alive. A special mention to all custodians of this land we call home - Australia.
THE OKA SOUND
The Oka sound is deeply rooted in the laid back coastal style of our home. I guess it makes people feel how they do when they visit here..chillaxed.
Here is a collection of words that we put to together because we always get asked to describe our music:
"a fusion of eclectic world sounds, roots, dub, reggae, jazz and organic electronica"... yep it's a lot of words.
My favourite description though comes from a new Oka fan in Canada:
"i have to say, your music is like nothing i've ever heard. love it! techno-folk-aboriginal-jungle-hippie-rock? damn."
THE BAND
The core of Oka is Stu (DidgeriStu) and Chris.
We are in Canada from June to the end of August for another tour! Hope to catch you at a show somewhere.. blessings from the Oka Lads.
