The Yilimbirri Junba

The Yilimbirri Junba is a song and dance cycle performed by the Bunuba people of the kimberley for more than 20 years. Dreamed by the father of group leader, Jimmy Dillon Andrews, it tells a story of the Bunuba warrior hero Jandamarra, and the rainbow serpents, or Ungguds, Yilimbirri and Imintji. The Junba has been the inspiration for a major theme of the Jandamarra play.

This will be the fi rst time the Junba has been performed outside the kimberley.
