SUMMARY:Afro Dizzi Act & Oka
DESCRIPTION:Afro Dizzi Act\nFor just over decade, Afro Dizzi Act has b
 een performing in Australia and throughout East Asia, collaborating wi
 th musicians of the globe and performing a style of music the industry
  has described as fusion, or, as preferred by the band, roots infused 
 World Beat. The unification of the bands sound lies in their ability t
 o perform with the depth, feel and telepathy nurtured from 10 years of
  playing together, their collective compositional skills and the excep
 tional craftsmanship of the bands vocalist, Senegalese\nborn Jali Buba
  Kuyateh. Sonic stylist and saxophonist Nick Aggs, guitarist/lyricist 
 Sol Carroll, Bassman OJ (the Juice) Newcomb and drummer Mark Landsbury
  Henman are not only the backbone of Afro, they stand out individually
  as being exceptionally gifted musicians with a plethora of recordings
  and tours under their belts.\n\nBeing the first Western band to tour 
 North East India and two tours of Nepal had far reaching effects on th
 e band as a creative unit. The release of their second studio album â€
 ˜Walkin’ in 2007 as a sonic documentation of these tours has left a 
 lasting impression on the Australian music Industry. The\nsingle track
  ‘Walkin” as sung by Jali Buba Kuyateh is about the spiritual sign
 ificance of walking, and OJ Newcomb’s instrumental ‘Drop Off’ ha
 s been licensed by Ubiquity Records for the soundtrack Under the Sun.\
 n\nOka -\nThe OKA signature is a smooth hi-fidelity sound that is full
  of beautiful uplifting melodies, tones and textures, cooked over raw 
 didgeridoo rhythms and phatt dance driven grooves.\n\nA live collectiv
 e where no two gigs are the same, the OKA flavor is their own hybrid o
 f feel good Roots, Reggae, Dub and Jazz, marinated in Electronica and 
 served on Island Time.\n\nThey have independently sold over 60,000 alb
 ums worldwide, a true testament to their ever growing appeal to people
  of all ages and cultures.\n“It's the kind of sound you spread the n
 ews about with an almost missionary fervor..”\n\nOKAs hypnotic, high
  energy live performances are a spontaneous exploration into the subli
 me. They consistently set themselves apart as a festival crowd favouri
 te with their originality, honesty, and passion.\n\nFor more informati
