Bunna Lawrie
Bunna Lawrie is the charismatic front man of Coloured Stone, the band he co-founded in 1977 on the Koonibba Mission in South Australia. The band rose to prominence in 1984 and their music featured on Australian national radio as they toured extensively. In the 1990s the group slowed their recording and touring schedule but released a greatest hits compilation in 1997. Bunna became the first Aboriginal Australian to receive the coveted Don Banks Music Award in 1999, a prize usually reserved for Australian classical musicians.
