One of Australia’s finest roots percussionists, Bobby Alu is the musical alter ego of Charles Wall. Charles has spent the past 6 years touring Australia, New Zealand and Canada as a member of OKA (kit) and Kooii (percussion), as well as being a regular co-conspirator with the likes of Nicky Bomba, Mista Savona, Saritah, The Red Eyes, Watussi, Mal Webb, Georgia Potter, Golden Sound, Grassroots Street Orchestra, Cool Calm Collective, Kafka, Afro Dizzi Act, and Dubdoubt. It’s a CV that reads like a who’s-who of the Australian dub / reggae music scene.
The Bobby Alu project saw Charles stepping out from behind the kit and pick up his uke to instant notoriety in the Australian music industry. Within its first year of inception, Bobby Alu has been awarded a Q Music song award, a showcase at AWME (Australasian World Music Expo), placement in the prestigious John Butler Seed Management Workshop, performances at some of the nation’s biggest festivals, including Byron Bay Blues and Roots, Island Vibe and Woodford Folk Festival, as well as support slots with Australian music heavyweights The Beautiful Girls and Blue King Brown
