Jungaji 'Betting On Blak' Album Launch

Sunday 15 June 2025 | 04:00 PM

Jungaji and his band are proud to launch his debut solo album Betting On Blak—a powerful collection of contemporary cultural storytelling through soul, roots, and First Nations fusion. With special guests Chocolate Strings, Jamie-Lee Dimes, and rising artist Rudy Matoy, this is a night not to be missed.

Jungaji's music journey spans over three decades—from the charting 90s R&B of Inala's Aim 4 More, to a deep cultural reawakening that has shaped his solo path.

Now known as "Jungaji" (meaning rock, strength, and knowledge), his creative expression spans music, visual art, theatre, and advocacy. His work speaks to resilience, connection, and cultural pride.

Jungaji is a Western Gugu Yalanji and Birrigubba songman whose creative journey spans over three decades, from his early days as a member of the groundbreaking 90s R&B vocal group Aim 4 More in Inala, to a powerful solo career driven by cultural revival and deep spiritual connection. His name, Jungaji—meaning rock, strength, and knowledge (pronounced Jun-gah-jee)—reflects both his identity and purpose as a storyteller, truth-teller, and cultural torchbearer.

The 'Betting On Blak' album is a collection of profoundly meaningful tracks, including two songs in Gugu Yalanji language: 'Gummy Bamarra', which received a Queensland Music Award, and 'Kalkurr', where Jungaji collaborates in the studio with his youngest son, Dean Brady.
