Review for this week - great stuff - Coomie Crew - Where the Eagle Roams Indigenous, RnB, Hip Hop, Australian Indigenous
A group of young Barkindji artists from Coomealla/Dareton in Western NSW. Evolved from a storytelling project, coordinated with Elders and young people, and facilitated by Desert Pea Media.
‘Where the Eagle Roams’ is a West Coast R&B club banger with soul undertones, and an excellent attitude. Inspired by a community, of wonderful, sharing, caring connected people – this track takes a progressive and positive angle on some serious and debilitating social and cultural issues such as grief, trauma and su***de.

Jambunna review for this week - "Wilcannia Barkindji Soldiers - Heartbeat
From the release entitled Heartbeat
A ensemble indigenous act from Wilcannia NSW, NSW
Genres: Indigenous, Hip Hop, Australian Indigenous, Electronic
'Heartbeat' is an anthem for country - from the people of the river, the Barkindji Nation (Baaka means 'river' in Barkindji). This epic, haunting production fuses trap/ hip hop/ synth music to communicate a powerful call to action to protect country.
‘Heartbeat' was created in December 2018, the result of a five-day Desert Pea Media storytelling workshop. Co-written by, and starring, an incredibly talented group of young people, community members and local Elders from the local community - with support from the DPM team and Wilcannia High School Staff. Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyse 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities. The DPM team feels deeply honoured to learn, share, create and build friendships and connection with the Barkindji community in Wilcannia. These projects not only uplift and inspire audiences and community members, but everybody involved. These are friendships and experiences that are deeply valued and respected. This project featured the musical direction and production of acclaimed music producer Carlo Santone (Blue King Brown/Nattali Rize). We thank you brother for you artistic vision and awesome work.

Jambunna - artist review - Horsham girl Alice Skye (Henderson) - "Alice Skye - You Are The Mountains
From the release entitled The Alukura Compilation album
A solo indigenous act from Melbourne, VIC

Genres: Indigenous, Folk, Pop, Atmospheric

You Are The Mountains is a piano driven, melancholic lullaby showcasing Alice Skye’s skills as both singer and songwriter. An emotionally powerful ode to her father who passed away when she was a young child; he was her connection to her Aboriginality

Last year Australia’s longest running Indigenous music label CAAMA Music ran a nationwide competition to uncover a new crop of female Aboriginal singer-songwriters. Titled the Alukura Competition (Alukura meaning ‘women' in the Arrernte language) CAAMA selected eight incredibly talented and passionate women from all corners of Australia to record a compilation album at their studios in Alice Springs. During the recording process the women participated in music business workshops, were mentored by musical duo the Stiff Gins [Nardi Simpson and Kaleena Briggs], and connected to the country and culture of Central Australia. For most of these women it was their first time recording in a professional studio and from this invaluable experience they received knowledge and contacts to support and grow a successful musical career. The result is The Alukura Compilation an album that will feature a song from each of the eight women and will be released by CAAMA Music in early 2016. In the meantime, to give listeners a taste of the talent, two artists release their singles now; Alice Skye [ViC] with You Are The Mountains and Kristal West [QLD] with her song And That’s Why
