Kankawa Nagarra and Darren Hanlon perform @ Iffley Church, Oxford
Tuesday, 28 July 2026
- Time
- 19:00 - 22:00
Venue:- Iffley Church Hall, Church Way, Iffley, Oxford OX4 4EG
Coming to Oxford for the first time is 80 year old desert blues singer Kankawa Nagarra. She’ll be performing at the Iffley Church Hall at St Marys on Tuesday the 28th of July, fresh off stage from the WOMAD Festival.
Kankawa Nagarra has had an extraordinary musical career even though she didn’t own her own guitar until she was 40. A Walmatjarri Elder from the Kimberley, Nagarra has found musical inspiration from the tribal songs of her childhood, through the gospel songs of the mission she grew up on and the country music and rock ’n’ roll of the pastoral lease she worked on. But it was the blues that really awakened her and gave her the medium to express all her thoughts and feelings and turn them into songs. Her message of empathy extends to all of those she sees struggling around her and to the entire planet that she sees is being ravaged for profit.
