Perfect time to celebrate indigenous Oz, 25/02/2008
25 February 2008
"Only 10 days after the nation said sorry to its Stolen Generation, this incredibly moving multicultural tribute to Aboriginal life and music called Murundak ⎯ which means alive in the Woiwurrung language ⎯ could not have been better timed.
The event is presented by the wryly subversively named Black Arm Band ⎯ a collective of the finest indigenous performers including Archie Roach, Ruby Hunter, Shellie Morris, Kutcha Edwards, Stephen Pigram, Ursula Yovich, Dan Sultan, Mark Atkins, Lou Bennett and a pair of honorary blackfellas Shane Howard of Goanna fame and special guest John Butler.
The two-hour long concert was an uplifting experience that said more about black and white solidarity than a million parliamentary speeches."
