Introducing to our vinyl selection Wilurarrakutu by Keanu Nelson
Keanu Nelson is a young Aboriginal Australian artist from the remote but artistically rich community of Papunya, northwest of Alice Springs. He paints in the Western Desert movement style and sings poems from his notebook over minimalist DIY Casio beats programmed by Yuta Matsumura.
Keanu wrote these songs as private poems about family, home, and loss. He was finally inspired to sing them after meeting Matsumura at the Papunya Tjupi Arts Centre. The album takes inspiration from the strong local gospel scene and reggae beats passed around the community.
Wilurarrakutu is available now in-store & online
