Uncle Frank’s mighty songs, magical guitar playing, and deeply evocative voice tell stories of country, protection, heartache, travel and love. Although he’s lived in Adelaide for many years, Frank’s spirit belongs to the heart of Australia. Uluru. Docker River. Ernabella. Central Australia. As Frank says, “wherever the Pitjantjatjara mob come from”.

Frank has recently performed at Yabun, WOMADelaide, Blue Mountains Folk Festival, Cobargo Folk Festival, Yackandandah Folk Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and National Multicultural Festival. Recent performances have led to standing ovations!

“Pitjantjatjara singer-songwriter Frank Yamma has long been one of Australia’s strongest indigenous voices. Yamma’s heartfelt lyrics and moving delivery have always set him apart as an exceptional artist.” - Seth Jordan, Songlines Magazine (UK)

“Countryman is an absorbing and immensely moving listening experience.”- Beat Magazine
