Tjaka is set to bring their sound to the Whitsundays as part of QLD Music Trails - The Reef.
The Magandjin (Brisbane) based band will perform at Airlie Beach Foreshore on July 4, joining Boy & Bear, Jem Cassar-Daley, Mid Drift and Kaylee West on the Airlie Beach line-up.
Tjaka blends hip-hop, reggae, funk and sounds from Aboriginal culture, using music to connect with culture, family and contemporary experience.
The band is made up of brothers Geoff and Jake Fabila, proud descendants of the Jabirr Jabirr tribe in the Western Australian Kimberley, and family friend and guitarist Felix Fogarty.
Geoff Fabila told National Indigenous Times the band was looking forward to playing in Airlie Beach.
"We're really excited to be heading to Airlie Beach for Qld Music Trails - The Reef," Mr Fabila said.
"Exploring new places is something we love, and Airlie Beach has been high on our list of destinations we've wanted to play for quite some time.
"We're always grateful for the opportunity to play in new places, and being able to travel with our music is an incredible experience that we never take for granted."
QLD Music Trails - The Reef runs from July 2 to 4, with performances at Lake Proserpine and Airlie Beach Foreshore.
The trail is presented by Queensland Music Festival in partnership with Whitsunday Regional Council, with the event designed to connect audiences with music, regional stories and place.
For Tjaka, the Airlie Beach show is also a chance to perform on new Country and share their sound with a new community.
Mr Fabila said performing in new places carried meaning for the band.
"There's always something special about performing on new Country and new places for the first time," he said.
"We're looking forward to sharing our music with the community and being part of what will be a great festival."
Tjaka's sound is shaped by the Didjeribone, a slide didgeridoo, and the Facebass, a seismic microphone placed inside the mouth.
The instruments are blended with electric guitar, vocals and looped programming, continuing work led by musical innovators including Charlie McMahon and Tjupurru.
Mr Fabila said the didgeridoo had been central to the band's connection to culture.
"Playing the Didgeridoo has been our strongest connection to culture throughout our lives," Mr Fabila said.
"Our father, Tjupurru, guided us in learning and performing the instrument in a contemporary style.
"From a young age, this taught us the importance of maintaining and sharing that cultural connection, and we feel proud to represent our family and culture through our performances."
The band's live performances bring together cultural connection and the sounds of contemporary Australia.
Mr Fabila said audiences could expect a high-energy show at Airlie Beach Foreshore.
"Audiences at Qld Music Trails - The Reef, Between the Tides can expect a high-energy show that will get them moving," Mr Fabila said.
"We bring pumping rhythms, infectious energy, and a set packed with sounds you may never have heard before.
"Drawing on influences from reggae and funk through to classic drum and bass, there's something in the set for everyone."
