Barunga Festival will return this year maintaining its long and proud position as one of Australia’s most important cultural events celebrating the best of Indigenous art, sport, cultural activities, and contemporary and traditional music from remote locations. This year will welcome three generations of Gumbaynggirr musicians with the quickly rising star Tasman Keith, reuniting with his legendary father Wire MC and distinguished grandfather Billy Jack. The people of Barunga have also extended an invitation to the Indigenous cultures of Taiwan, welcoming singer Sang Mei-Chuan from the Twainese Paiwan tribe. The event has a healthy food policy, with a range of cuisines on offer as well as 100 per cent drug, smoke and alcohol-free policy to ensure the family spirit of Barunga community is maintained.
