Kamerunga is an Australian folk band from Cairns, Queensland,[1] consisting of six members. The band's music derives from traditional Celtic-influenced Australian folk music, which it mixes with elements of rock, reggae, jazz and blues.[2][3] It plays classic Australian folk songs using these elements to produce eclectic and unusual versions of recognisable tunes. Instruments used in Kamerunga's music include guitar, drums, mandolin, fiddle, saxophone, keyboards and violin.[4]

Kamerunga has released two albums to date. Both were produced by drummer Nigel Pegrum, who played in the British folk band Steeleye Span in the 1970s and '80s.[3]
