The Garrangali Band, also known as Garrangali, is an Aboriginal Australian musical group from the tiny homeland community, or outstation,[1] of Baniyala in East Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. Garrangali means "home of the crocodile"[2] in the Yolngu language, in which they sing some lyrics.[3] Their musical style has been variously described as reggae,[3] saltwater reggae[4] and saltwater ska.[1]
The band came on to the scene in 2009, when they were nominated for the Emerging Artist award at the National Indigenous Music Awards 2009.[5] At the ceremony in 2010 they won two categories: album of the year with their debut, Crocodile Nest, and song of the year for "Sea Rights". Their lyrics focus on their land, Aboriginal culture and Indigenous rights.[3] The group first performed in Sydney in mid-2010 at the Old Manly Boatshed, Manly. The line-up included Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) participants and/or Yirralka Rangers.[6] In 2018 they performed at the 20th anniversary of the Garma Festival of Traditional Cultures.[4][7]
On 26 January 2020 (Australia Day) the band performed at the Art Gallery of South Australia as part of one of the Tarnanthi exhibition's Sunday Sessions, along with Electric Fields.[2] In August of that year they released a new song, "One Voice", and prepared for their second album,[1] of the same name.[8] The new tracks display the yidaki and clapsticks (both traditional Aboriginal instruments), and their manikay, which are their clan songlines.[1] "One Voice" is a celebration of the Yolngu people's lifestyle in the Blue Mud Bay area.[9]
In October 2020 Garrangali Band toured Arnhem Land, performing at outstations[10] and larger communities of Maningrida and Ramingining, with their final performance of the tour at Yirrkala. They reached West Arnhem Land and travelled Шаблон:Convert on the outward leg of the tour.[8]
Шаблон:As of there are 12 members in the band, including keyboards player Makungun Brendan Marika, from Yirrikala, his son Sean Marika on drums,[1] and lead singer Mudiny Nicholas Guyula.[9] The band is managed by Ahva Paul Hayes but operates independently, not being tied to a company.[10]
