Milliya Rumara
Milliya Rumara: Reflections and Homage, 30 Years On Peter Botsman March 2020 1 For Kevin Fong, the one true Mayor of Broome and Ronnie Rowe and Anne St and all the “unacceptable coons” 2 I “This is a story of how someone found his uncle and a whole lot besides.” (Bibby 1991) “Bran Nue Dae” is kriol, pidgin spelling. There were so many different nationalities aboard the pearling luggers of late nineteenth and twentieth century Broome that a dialect had to emerge. Not only did a dialect emerge but so too did a unique cultural creativity that was busting at the seams to talk about justice, life and freedom. That is what is at the heart of Bran Neu Dae, perhaps Australia’s greatest musical ever written to date.i (Wyllie Johnston and Wyllie Johnston 2019) What must have Jimmy Chi been thinking when those words first came into his head? Did he spit them out in heavy Broome accent to his musical collaborators Michael Manolis, Stephen Pigram, Stephen “Baamba” Albert and the other members of the Kuckles band? What was driving his thoughts? An aboriginal, asiatic jumble of feelings, wading through a segregated hypocrisy, not fitting in, not wanting to fit in, seeking something better, not wanting to be disappointed once again: “Here I live in this tin shack Nothing here worth coming back To drunken fights and awful sights People drunk most every night On the way to a Bran Nue Dae Every body Every body say On the way to a Bran Nue Dae”ii These are far from optimistic or hopeful words. -
Jimmy Chi: Hybridity and Healing
Jimmy Chi: Hybridity and Healing Introduction Jimmy Chi is the scion of a well-known and respected Broome family, a family whose fortunes fluctuated with the vicissitudes of Broome‟s history. Jimmy Chi‟s Chinese grandfather, John Chi, was a successful pearler who had arrived in Australia as a cabin boy around 1872; his Japanese grandmother, Yaie John Chi, was a businesswoman who operated a long soup shop and boarding house. His Scottish grandfather was a pastoralist, his Aboriginal grandmother a traditional Baad woman who witnessed the arrival of the Europeans in the Kimberley. His father, James Minero Chi, owned various businesses in Broome including a successful taxi service and the first postal service along the corrugated pindan road to Beagle Bay and Cape Leveque. His mother, Lily, was a member of the Stolen Generations who was raised in the Beagle Bay mission and in Broome by the St John of God nuns. As a young woman she worked as a domestic for the manager of the Bank of N.S.W. Being a devout Catholic she worked for the Catholic Church throughout her life, starting up the Bishop Raible Co-op, now the Op Shop, with her friend Rosie Lee, getting „the money together by making cakes, and cooking at the races and other things‟ (Chi, J. 2005, pers. comm., May 24). James Minero Chi Photo by Melissa McCord, in Chenery (n.d.) These intrepid individuals are among the founders of present day Broome. Their life stories personalise the facts of history. The extended Chi family exemplify the innovative attitude of people on the frontier who were prepared to take risks and embrace challenge. -
Media Kit Quartet and Country
MEDIA KIT QUARTET AND COUNTRY AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET, WILLIAM BARTON, LOU BENNETT, STEPHEN PIGRIM, ROMA WINMAR Click here for images. QUARTET AND COUNTRY One of Australia’s finest classical music ensembles collaborate with some Australia’s best Indigenous performers. The Australian String Quartet bring a unique offering for the festival, performing a mini- cycle of the early Op. 18 String Quartets of Beethoven. For four years, the quartet have been working on Quartet and Country - a program of commissions from indigenous musicians that seeks to find common ground between Western Art Music and the Songlines of this country. To have the Quartet play the music of our country is a powerful gesture of togetherness. Elders of song Lou Bennett and Noongar woman Roma Winmar join the ASQ, with Australia’s finest didgeridoo player, William Barton, and Broome music legend Stephen Pigram. AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET For over 30 years, the Australian String Quartet (ASQ) has created unforgettable string quartet performances for national and international audiences. Dedicated to musical excellence with a distinctly Australian flavour, the ASQ’s purpose is to create chemistry and amplify intimacy through experiences that connect people with string quartet music. From its home base at the University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, the ASQ reaches out across Australia and the world to engage people with an outstanding program of performances, workshops, commissions and education projects. The ASQ’s distinct sound is enhanced by a matched set of 18th century Guadagnini instruments, handcrafted by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini between c.1743 and 1784 in Turin and Piacenza, Italy. -
Bran Nue Dae
BRAN NUE DAE Press Kit DRAFT 4b 4/8/09 BRAN NUE DAE Bran Nue Dae is the search for love and identity. It is a simple story where love and the joy of life triumphs against a background of mayhem and dishonour. It is my story but it is also yours and everybody else you know who seeks love and happiness in a world clouded by injustice. Jimmy Chi Bran Nue Dae comes from a unique place and people in Australia and has something essential to say about life. To laugh, sing and dance are some of our greatest and simplest pleasures. These things are essentially human; they lift our spirits and make us feel good. This is how I felt some twenty years ago when I stood with the rest of the audience and cheered Bran Nue Dae, the stage musical. It is the same feeling we hope to give the cinema audience.
