The annual Quandamooka Festival is a three-month calendar of events from July "“ September 2016, celebrating the culture, country and the Indigenous people of the Quandamooka (Moreton Bay) region, of SEQLD.
As the festival comes to an end for 2016, the unique sounds of international multi-ARIA Award nominee Xavier Rudd will close the event at the Kunjiel (Corroboree) on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), Saturday 17 September. The Australian singer-songwriter will perform amongst a strong lineup of internationally acclaimed local Indigenous dance troupes including the Yulu Burri Ba, Nunukul Yuggera and Guruman dancers with several local acts who are recognised globally.
Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC) CEO Cameron Costello said having such a well-known artist to help close this year's festival was a huge coup.
"Xavier Rudd is not just one of the country's finest contemporary musicians, he is also well-known for his environmental passion and support of Australia's Traditional Owners," Mr Costello said.
"His respect for first Australians and recognition of the importance of their connection to country fits perfectly with the Quandamooka Festival and all that it stands for."
Fresh from wowing audiences in Europe and America with his unique multi-instrumental style, it will be Rudd's first performance on Minjerribah and his second visit after having travelled to the island in 2012 to shoot the film-clip for his hit 'Follow The Sun', which featured local Yulu Burri Ba dancers.
Rudd says "I've been wanting to get over to Straddie to play, it's a special place and I'm aware of the history of reconciliation that's going on there, so for me to be able to come over and do something involved in culture is something that feels right to me. This (Kunjiel) will be a special opportunity and for people; they will certainly feel it when they leave, they will feel it into the future because that's the power of the culture."
The Kunjiel event will feature fresh local food, markets, art and kids activities along with plenty of entertainment for the whole family, including many Indigenous dance troupes and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists such as Quandamooka musician Adam James and young Torres Strait Islander musician and Australia's Got Talent finalist Chris Tamwoy.
