Ganga Giri mixes red natural elements with fat tribal beats and dirty funky bass lines to create a unique tribal-technological deep earth dance experience. Explosive and pulsating, at times ambient and flowing, the music is a pumping percussive multi-layered experience of complex grooves and raw, deep natural sound. Ganga himself is a rhythmic didjeridu virtuoso and percussionist– an inspired music creator who’s passion brings people together in celebration of nowness in newness, a modern day corroboree for all!
Representing key elements and inspirations of Australia now, the shows are a modern/primitive multi-cultural celebration, a ‘melting pot’ unifying many musical genres and cultures, bringing audiences world-wide a reflection of today’s multicultural Australia. Ganga Giri’s music has been widely & wildly appreciated by music lovers in many countries across the globe including Australia, Japan, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands and New Zealand igniting audiences in clubs, world music festivals and outdoor dance events. Carving a niche in the DJ dominated world of dance music, Ganga Giri is an energetic, innovative and incredibly live act.
Ganga Giri’s full show blends an array of tribal percussion that includes Ganga’s uniquely percussive style didj playing, congas, djembe, bougarabou, Nigerian talking drum, mbira and more– add to this a drizzling of authentic indigenous moves with aboriginal dancers and hold on tight as Ganga Giri sends audiences through the roof.
GANGA GIRI, rhythmic didgeridoo virtuoso and percussionist, reflects much of the creative inspiration which Australia represents today. Explosive and pulsating; ambient and flowing at times – GANGA GIRI is a pumping percussive multi-layered experience of complex grooves and raw, deep natural sound. An inspired music creator whose passion brings people together in a modern day corroboree.

Delivering his unique and authentic taste of multicultural Australia GANGA GIRI’s music has been widely & wildly appreciated by music lovers in many countries including Australia, Japan, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, New Zealand and the United States igniting audiences in clubs and music festivals all over the world including some of the biggest outdoor dance events across the globe.
GANGA GIRI is a remarkably energetic and innovative live act. He has achieved something rare and precious which few artists are able to capture mixing natural elements with fat tribal beats and dirty funky bass lines to create a unique tribal-technological deep earth dance experience.
“GANGA GIRI is a wonderful musician. I first heard him at a Womad festival, and loved the mix of his ancient and primitive instrument with a wide range of great dance grooves. Ganga is really taking the didgeridoo to places it has never been before and developing a unique style of music.” Peter Gabriel – Real World Records
“The music took my muddy boots and threw them about for a bit, next thing I knew the dub from the decks had infected my spine and my whole body was bouncing. This carried on throughout the set, until its climax. At which point the sun and blue skies appeared and grinning like a child I went off to get an ice cream!”
Scott Williams – Glastonbury Festival review
Joining GANGA GIRI on stage is rich dub/reggae dancehall vocalist and celebrator Jornick Joe Lick – hailing from French Guyana, drummer Dan Pearson playing live electronic beats, Indigenous songman and dancer Gumaroy and Yeshe Reiners on percussion and melodic world instruments (Mbira and Kamele N’goni).
DJ ROWAN
Striving to bring people together through fusion of cultures and sounds, this promoter/dj/producer is frequently found rocking dance floors alongside heavyweights such as Adham Shaikh, Gaudi, David Starfire, Liquid Stranger, Noah Pred and Ganga Giri. Able to deftly navigate dark nightclubs with bumpin' techno, house or chillin it out with some dub, world fusion and downtempo on a sunny afternoon at an outdoor festival, Rowan will get people moving to inspiring music at any kind of gig.
Rowan has played many of the major BC festivals including Faeries and Fools, Lasqueti Escape, Soundwave, Diversity, Entheos and Earthdance Victoria. Rowan's talent and love for music will continue to bring him in front of amazing, inspired and intentional dancefloors again and again.
DESUNOS
Desunos has been spinning and co-creating dance floors since the summer of 2006. With 18 years of live stage performance as a lead singer/songwriter/guitarist, Laughlin Meagher is committed to creating dance floor madness. As a multi-genre dj, Desunos crosses the boundaries between world ethno-fusion, dub step, progressive house, glitch, downtempo and breaks to give you a kaleidoscopic sound experience to keep your feet dancing and your heart pumping. Desunos has shared the stage with international acts such as David Starfire, Gaudi, Adham Shaikh, Max Pashm, Liquid Stranger, Delhi to Dublin, Shane Philip, Brad Moontribe, Drumspyder & Jef Stott. Live on the mic Desunos fuses layers of vocals, melodica, guitar and percussion to compliment his selections and interact with the audience. Creating rich harmonies and soundscapes, Desunos will be showcasing his original compositions, and live fusion elements on a sounsystem near you.
