Music
OKA's music brings musical traditions and cultures together - ancient and modern - black and white. The traditional rhythms and stories of DidgeriSTU's Yadaki (didgeridoo) weave throughout pumping electronic beats, vocals, exotic woodwinds and world percussion - a unique fusion of organic world sounds and electronic music like no other.
"If you are from the same family, village, province, region, country or just plain friend...you are my wantok (onetalk). One heart, one love, one talk...." This is the essence of what onetalk means in Torres Strait Island culture.
Early in 2002, OKA released their debut CD 'elements'. It has gone on to sell thousands and thousands of copies to people from all over the world. It was produced at Ground Control Studios, Australia by Geir Gunnarrson and Oka. There were a number of guest artists on the album, including Harii Bandhu, who was one of the seed planters for this whole musical revolution.
