She Cried – Frank Yamma


Frank Yamma is a Pitjantjatjara man hailing from central Australia – something that is clear in his music, as he sings in both his native language (such as in his new single Everybody’s Talking) and in English. In 2010 his acclaimed album Countryman gave us the heartbreaking, confessional She Cried. A single, simple acoustic guitar line becomes the delicate thread running through Yamma’s raw and plaintive vocals, full of yearning, with sections of naturally delivered spoken word. In his fifth studio album Uncle, released in October, he experiments with fuller sounds, without ever losing his trademark emotional honesty. Sydneysiders can catch Yamma with the hip-hop artist Radical Son (here’s his video for Human Behaviour if you’re after a taster with a touch of reggae) at the Newtown Social Club on Thursday, with both artists launching their albums.
