I Alunan Hu-Sibwe Fetei - Candy Taman

Marine Six (Remix)

This is my 59th Album and my first solo Album, in which all the lyrics of the songs are composed by me, as well as the song layout and composition. I have used Ai to convert the lyrics to vocal by a singer (my style). It has allowed me for the first time to express my feelings through a voice. I hope you embrace this new version of my music.

So, this Album is ‘An Aussie Xmas…Vol.2’ and is focused on Christmas in Australia. This is a love letter to Australia, with red dust on your boots, a beer in the esky, and a smell of sausages. 

This isn't a sleigh bell or a sleigh with a sleigh, it's a roadhouse with reindeer that look like roos covered in bull dust, ancient Boabs standing guard and fireflies dancing under a sky, so full of stars you can almost hear them hum. 

It is mates waving goodbye with "See You Next Year", caravans crawling across the endless Nullarbor, and the sunsets that make you feel both tiny and unbreakable. This is the sound and soul of an Australian Christmas, it's raw, sunburnt, and unapologetically ours. 

1.	‘Six White Boomers’ (2025 version) is an up-tempo country-rock reboot, kangaroos pulling the sleigh across the desert night.

2.	‘Santa Wears A Blue Singlet’ is about Surf-life-saver Santa, board shorts, zinc cream, rescuing presents from rips.

3.	‘Thongs On The Rooftop’ is about kids hear clippety-clop instead of hooves, Santa’s lost his ‘RM Williams’ in the pool.

4.	‘Deck The Shed With Bits of Wattle’ is about bush-carols parody, but deadly serious, gum leaves, bottlebrush and Banksia men.

5.	‘Mangoes In The Fruit Bowl’ is about tropical Christmas soul ballad, mangoes, prawns, and ‘Nan’s’ trifle.

6.	Carols By Torchlight Power’s is about a power blackout, where the whole street sings by phone-torch on the nature strip.

7.	‘Christmas On the Nullarbor’ is about road-train drivers’ Christmas, CB radio choir, tinsel on the bull-bar.

8.	‘The Twelve Days of An Aussie Christmas’ is a song about twelve cold stubbies, eleven barbecues, ten meat trays, etc. Crowd sing-along stomper.

9.	‘Pavlova For Jesus’ is about kids leaving a Pav, Tim Tams and a cold ‘VB’ for Santa instead of milk and cookies.

10.	‘Mary Rode A Ute to Bethlehem’ is a Bluegrass-gospel song with banjo and a tale about Mary and Joseph in a Holden with a blown head-gasket.

11.	‘Cicadas In A Gum Tree’ is a slow summer-night ballad about baby Jesus who sleeps to the sound of cicadas and distant thunder.

12.	‘Santa’s Lost His Akubra’ is a kids song about a frantic search for Santa’s hat across Bondi, Uluru, and the MCG.

13.	‘Christmas Day At The RSL’ is about lonely old diggers who find family for one afternoon, indulging in ‘Two-up’ games, meat raffle and mate-ship.
 
14.	‘Red Dust Reindeer’ is a song about an outback station’s Christmas and Santa’s sleigh pulled by red-kangaroo team.

15.	‘Away In A Caravan’ is gentle waltz song about the grey-nomad nativity under the annexe under ‘Broome’s’ landscape.

16.	‘Christmas On The Bitumen’ is the anthem for every Aussie who’s ever celebrated Christmas barefoot on hot bitumen, mango juice running down their arm, arguing whether the pudding should’ve gone in the fridge or the Esky. It is a joyful, irreverent, and 100 % ‘fair dinkum’.

17.	‘XMAS Down Under’ is an Australian Christmas love letter to Australia, with red dust on your boots, a beer in the Esky, and the smell of sausages. 

18.	‘See You Next Year Mate’ is the final track, and a big emotional country-rock closer, Christmas lights on the ‘Hills Hoist’ and everyone swaying with arms around each other.
I hope you enjoy this Christmas Album which is proudly ‘Australian’ and very different from the traditional Christmas songs. It is Merry Christmas and See Ya Next Year, Mate… 

ENJOY!!!
