BIRDZ & FRED LEONE

Birdz & Fred are cousins by family, but brothers in music. Both artists hail from Ngulungbura Clan of the Butchulla nation with Fred Leone being one of the three Butchulla songmen. Indeed, their new E.P.s title, "Girra",  means FIRE in the Butchulla language and pays homage to their traditional language, roots and identity.

 

Girra is a project the likes of which has not been seen before. A perfect pairing of Birdz's sharp, poetic, rhythmic, lyricisms fused with Aboriginal Creole and Fred's soaring vocals in both Butchulla and English.

 

This collaboration builds on the success of their hit single Bagi-La-m Bargan.
