Uncle Frank Yamma is one of Australia's most significant Indigenous songwriters with an ability to cross cultural and musical boundaries. A Pitjantjatjara man, Frank sings in his native language and English.

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!
