Obituary: Tribal Voice


Original video located here. Accessed 18th September 2013

Song title: Tribal Voice

Artist: Yothu Yindi

Year: 1991

Why I like this song:

R.I.P. M. Yunupingu

I remember hearing a lot of Yothu Yindi's music in the early nineties. They had a sizable number of hits that were largely inescapable - certainly my school thought so too as they were regularly played on the PA to signal the end of lunch. I guess it was vital for the kids to become aware of First Nations art and culture as well as Keating government throwing their support behind Yothu Yindi. 

Still this song rocks hard and, as a call to arms, leaves a legacy to be proud of.
