THE YABU BAND NOMINATED FOR TWO “DEADLY AWARDS”

2009 Most Promising New Talent in Music | 2009 Band of the Year

Since beginning at the age of five, multi-talented brothers, Delson and Boyd Stokes, known today as ‘The Yabu Band’, have created a powerful, unique sound aptly described as Desert Rock/Reggae.

The brothers are originally from Kalgoorlie, the Goldfields town bordered by the Western Desert from where they draw their heritage, culture and inspiration, and the name “Yabu” means “Rock/Gold” in their language, Wongatha.

Through performances at the WA Australian of the Year Awards, The Oz Concert, The Homecoming of the Beijing Olympic athletes, Aus-Aid, The Survival Concert and airplay on NITV, ‘Yabu’ have garnered a well-earned reputation as one of the most impressive Indigenous acts in Australia. Accolades such as the “Indigenous Song of the Year Award” have flowed from music industry professionals and these have underlined a deep respect from their own community.

“Yabu” have honed a truly dynamic stage presence. The ever-charismatic Delly captivates audiences with his highly individual passion and charm, his vocals emphatically complemented by the blistering commentary of his shy, self-effacing brother’s guitar playing.
