Warrior Bolognese – The Yung Warriors
The Yung Warriors (cousins Tjimba Possum Burns and D-Boy – Narjik Day Burns) are one of our leading cultural music ambassadors. They’ve supported the likes of Akon, 50 Cent, The Game and Outlawz, as well as performing regular community gigs in their hometown of Melbourne.
Their latest album Standing Strong has already delivered the group the VIPA ‘Song of the Year’ with the title track and the most played community radio track with Family Love. Yung Warriors also won a Deadly Award for Best Indigenous Hip Hop Artist of the Year in 2012.
But music aside, their Warrior Bolognese is just the thing to cook up – healthy, quick and Diabetic Friendly!
