ABOUT THEM:
Guriguru is an Indigenous Trance Funk outfit in Northern New South Wales, Australia made up of Gary Kafoa and Greg Manson (AKA Dr. Greg).
Gary Kafoa is a proud indigenous man from the rich cultural melting-pot of the Tweed River. Born and bred by the river he spent 30 years as a professional fisherman, and also has a long history as a local musician. Using a mixture of traditional and modern instrumentation, Gary sings of what was passed down to him by his father and other elders and contemporary issues that affect us all today. Trying to step outside traditional rock song structures has meant mixing didgeridoo with modern dance beats and his own funk percussion techniques. The result is a new dimension in storytelling born in the unique musical culture of the NSW North Coast.
Dr Greg is a veteran of over 40 years on bass with bands of every hue from deep funk to space-rock, and his lifelong interest in ethnic musical forms means he can supply unique groove assistance to the project. Together, they are GURIGURU
