Yabu Band is an Indigenous Australian rock, roots band formed in the mid-1990s in Kalgoorlie. The word ''yabu'' is Wongutha – a western desert tribal language – for 'rock' or 'gold'. Core members are brothers Delson (vocals) and Boyd Stokes (guitar); and Jade Masters (drums). When performing live they are joined by Roy Martinez (bass), Lilly Gogos (vocals), Tony Shaw (didgeridoo) and Tim Ayre (keyboards). They won a Deadly award in 2009 for Most Promising New Talent in Music Delson Stokes was the 1999 NAIDOC male youth of the year. In May 2012 Yabu Band toured Australia to promote their single, "Petrol, Paint and Glue", which highlights indigenous abuse of inhalants. Tracks from their next album, ''My Tjila'', were performed. They were supported by Kimberley musician, John Bennett. "Petrol, Paint and Glue" was nominated as Single of the Year at the 2012 Deadlys – to be held in September. Delson had written the track twelve years earlier after a family member had died from petrol sniffing. ==Discography== *''Looking to the Future'' ep (2007) *"Island Song" (2008) *''Gundulla - We Dance'' (2009)〔ABC oztracks (Gundulla - We Dance ), 5/10/2009〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yabu Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
