The Australian band Ankala was founded by Mark Atkins and his cousin Janawirri Yiparrka. Both the reflexion of Australia's history and the exploration of indigenous sounds are the main subjects of Ankala's music. Mark Atkins is a descendant of the Yamitji people of Western Australia and of Irish-Australian stock. He is a didgeridoo player, story teller, song writer, drummer and visual artist. Mark is one of the few players who is able to work across most styles of music as a soloist and ensemble player.
