Our Backyard Music Series: Timbuktu and Yazmindi

Lismore Quadrangle's live music series is back!
Join us on the grass at 6pm Thursday December 5 for some FREE amazing local live music.

Yazmindi 6pm
Heralding from Cooktown, Far-North Queensland, now based in Byron Bay, Yazmindi takes an honest, and sometimes tongue-in-cheek approach to authentically reflect on powerful moments of love, loss, societal pressures, youthful optimism, and determination. Traversing genres, a common theme of empowerment, especially towards young women runs strong and true to Yazmindi’s core values.

Timbuktu 7pm
Timbuktu are a Northern Rivers NSW based 7-piece ensemble led by guitarist, vocalist and live-looper, Joe O’Keeffe. After living in France and the UK where there are vibrant West African musical scenes, Joe became strongly influenced by these rich and varied musical cultures. Drawing from the likes of Fela Kuti, Ebo Taylor, Ali Farke Toure and Thomas Mapfumo among many others, he writes original songs and creates arrangements of vintage 60s/70s tunes from the Golden age of Highlife to the rise of Afrobeat and Ethiofunk.
