  • Humanities Research Vol XIX. No. 2. 2013
    Nations of Song Aaron Corn Eye-witness testimony is the lowest form of evidence. — Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist1 Poets are almost always wrong about facts. That’s because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth. — William C. Faulkner, writer2 Whether we evoke them willingly or whether they manifest in our minds unannounced, songs travel with us constantly, and frequently hold for us fluid, negotiated meanings that would mystify their composers. This article explores the varying degrees to which song, and music more generally, is accepted as a medium capable of bearing fact. If, as Merleau-Ponty postulated,3 external cultural expressions are but artefacts of our inner perceptions, which media do we reify and canonise as evidential records of our history? Which media do we entrust with that elusive commodity, truth? Could it possibly be carried by a song? To illustrate this argument, I will draw on my 15 years of experience in working artistically and intellectually with the Yolŋu people of north-east Arnhem Land in Australia’s remote north, who are among the many Indigenous peoples whose sovereignty in Australia predates the British occupation of 1788.4 As owners of song and dance traditions that formally document their law and are performed to conduct legal processes, the Yolŋu case has been a focus of prolonged political contestation over such nations of song, and also raises salient questions about perceived relations between music and knowledge within the academy, where meaning and evidence are conventionally rendered in text. This article was originally presented as a keynote address to the joint meeting of the Musicological Society of Australia and the New Zealand Musicological Society at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, in December 2010.

  • Land, Song, Constitution: Exploring Expressions of Ancestral Agency, Intercultural Diplomacy and Family Legacy in the Music of Yothu Yindi with Mandawuy Yunupiŋu1
    Popular Music (2010) Volume 29/1. Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2010, pp. 81–102 doi:10.1017/S0261143009990390 Land, song, constitution: exploring expressions of ancestral agency, intercultural diplomacy and family legacy in the music of Yothu Yindi with Mandawuy Yunupiŋu1 AARON CORN Pacific & Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures, F12 – Transient, The University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Yothu Yindi stands as one of Australia’s most celebrated popular bands, and in the early 1990s became renowned worldwide for its innovative blend of rock and indigenous performance traditions. The band’s lead singer and composer, Mandawuy Yunupiŋu, was one of the first university-trained Yolŋu educators from remote Arnhem Land, and an influential exponent of bicultural education within local indigenous schools. This article draws on my comprehensive interview with Yunupiŋuforan opening keynote address to the Music and Social Justice Conference in Sydney on 28 September 2005. It offers new insights into the traditional values and local history of intercultural relations on the Gove Peninsula that shaped his outlook as a Yolŋu educator, and simultaneously informed his work through Yothu Yindi as an ambassador for indigenous cultural survival in Australia. It also demonstrates how Mandawuy’s personal history and his call for a constitutional treaty with indigen- ous Australians are further grounded in the inter-generational struggle for justice over the mining of their hereditary lands. The article’s ultimate goal is to identify traditional Yolŋu meanings in Yothu Yindi’s repertoire, and in doing so, generate new understanding of Yunupiŋu’s agency as a prominent intermediary of contemporary Yolŋu culture and intercultural politics.

  • Healing Stone (Yothu Yindi – Bio 2004)
    Biography Pronounced as "yo-thoo yin-dee", the band's name translates from Yolngu matha to English as "child and mother" and is essentially a kinship term referring to the connection that the Yolngu (Australian Aboriginal) clans of north-east Arnhem Land have between themselves. Even in their earliest stages, Yothu Yindi were recognised as a unique act. They combined the sounds and instrumentation of western rock 'n' roll with songs and performances that date back tens of thousands of years. They took the ancient song cycles of north-east Arnhem Land - featuring such traditional instruments as the bilma (ironwood clapsticks) and yidaki (didgeridoo or hollow log) - and juxtaposed them with western pop sounds to present a true musical meeting of two diverse cultures. They took traditional Yolngu dance performances - describing the behavior of crocodiles, wallabies, brolga and other fauna of their homelands - and worked them into the context of contemporary performance. The result is a band that's been hailed as "the most powerful blend of indigenous and modern music to emerge from the world music scene". Coming together in 1986, Yothu Yindi consists of both Yolngu (Aboriginal) and Balanda (non-Aboriginal) musicians and embodies a sharing of cultures. The band promotes the strength of Yolngu culture, presenting non-Aboriginal people throughout the world with an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy aspects of that ancient culture. The band recorded their first album Homeland Movement in Australia's bicentennial year, 1988. Combining contemporary western rock with the traditional song cycles of the Gumatj and Rirratjingu clans of north-east Arnhem Land, Homeland Movement was recorded in one day and mixed in another and won the band a contract with Australia's leading independent record company, Mushroom.

  • Healing Stone the Best of Yothu Yindi
    HEALING STONE THE BEST OF YOTHU YINDI HISTORY is one thing. Mandawuy Yunupingu has been living it since his father signed a bark petition to the Australian Parliament in 1963 demanding recognition of the Yolngu people. As an educator, storyteller, cultural ambassador, 1992 Australian of the Year, and founder and chairman of the Yothu Yindi Foundation and the Garma Festival of Traditional Culture, his immense historic legacy is all but carved in stone. MUSIC is something else. It carries stories of time immemorial, the raw emotions of here and now and messages of hope and change for an eternal future. Songs are forever in the moment. Always with the gift of remembering, always with the power to heal. "HEALING STONE" is the first new song by Yothu Yindi in 12 years. Co-written by Mandawuy and INXS tunesmith Andrew Farriss, it’s as culturally urgent, profoundly personal and ultimately universal as any song in the world-renowned Arnhem Land band's 27-year history. "'HEALING STONE' is a song about disease and prevention. And it is a message – a simple message to the whole community that kidney disease is a massive problem in Aboriginal communities across Australia and that understanding and action is needed to fix it,” Mandawuy says. "I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease four years ago, and I just hope that this song, and telling my story, helps build that understanding and action – action to improve prevention and treatment of this dietary affliction and help create a better future for my people." The stunning video for "HEALING STONE" pulls no punches.

  • Screen Worlds, Sound Worlds and School: a Consideration of The
    australiaa n societ s y fo r mumsic education e Screen worlds, sound worlds and i ncorporated school: a consideration of the potential of the ethnomusicology of Australian Indigenous film for music education Michael Webb Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, Australia Thomas Fienberg Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney, Australia Abstract This article arises from the authors’ belief that there is a need to develop motivating ways for students across Australia to meaningfully encounter Australian indigenous music, the breadth and richness of which is beginning to be conveyed via a diverse range of mainstream media texts. Engaging with theoretical insights from the ethnomusicology of film, specifically, by examining the notions of sound worlds and sound space, we consider ways Australian Indigenous film might be profitably employed in the classroom study of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and dance. We consider in some detail the films Yolngu Boy (2000) and One Night the Moon (2001), and suggest classroom approaches to the study of these films based on our own school experiences with them. The article demonstrates ways students might be led to develop analytical, musicological, and performance skills, in order to come to a better understanding of aspects of Australian indigenous musical cultures and Australian experience. Key words: Ethnomusicology of film; Australian indigenous film; music video; media texts Australian Journal of Music Education 2011:2,30-43 Introduction by our own (differing) convictions regarding the urgent need to discover diverse, motivating, In this article we discuss the potential of and authentic ways through which school Indigenous film for meaningful classroom students might experience Australia’s indigenous engagement with Australian indigenous music.

  • Sounds of Australia: Aboriginal Popular Music, Identity, and Place James Jun Wu University of Sydney
    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 7 | Issue 1 Article 6 Sounds of Australia: Aboriginal Popular Music, Identity, and Place James Jun Wu University of Sydney Recommended Citation Jun Wu, James (2014) "Sounds of Australia: Aboriginal Popular Music, Identity, and Place," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 7: Iss. 1, Article 6. Sounds of Australia: Aboriginal Popular Music, Identity, and Place Abstract During the late twentieth century, Australia started to recognize the rights of the Aboriginal people. Indigenous claims for self-determination revolved around struggles to maintain a distinct cultural identity in strategies to own and govern traditional lands within the wider political system. While these fundamental challenges pervaded indigenous affairs, contemporary popular music by Aboriginal artists became increasingly important as a means of mediating viewpoints and agendas of the Australian national consciousness. It provided an artistic platform for indigenous performers to express a concerted resistance to colonial influences and sovereignty. As such, this study aims to examine the meaning and significance of musical recordings that reflect Aboriginal identity and place in a popular culture. It adopts an ethnomusicological approach in which music is explored not only in terms of its content, but also in terms of its social, economic, and political contexts. This paper is organized into three case studies of different Aboriginal rock groups: Bleckbala Mujik, Warumpi Band, and Yothu Yindi. Through these studies, the prevalent use of Aboriginal popular music is discerned as an accessible and compelling mechanism to elicit public awareness about the contemporary indigenous struggles through negotiations of power and representations of place.
