A beautiful fusion of rhythms, effortless harmonies and storytelling weave their way through Bobby Alu’s music. Self-described as a ‘Tropical Ambassador’, influences from his Polynesian ancestry remain at the core of his music, as well as a commitment to a true coastal vibe. From the deep grooves of his debut self-titled album in 2010, Alu has followed the threads of his curiosity, playing morning markets in exchange for vegetables, touring the world for five years as Xavier Rudd’s percussionist, sharing the stage with his Samoan mother, and consistently taking steps forward into dynamic new creative territory. His fourth album Keep it Tropical (2024) debuted at number three on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart and number one on the AIR Independent Label Albums Chart. He has toured extensively across Australia, the USA and Europe, spreading positivity without glossing over the hard stuff.
