Garrmalang presents Songs for Freedom an inspiring concert bringing you the soul, blues and unique country music of the leramugadu community (Roebourne, WA).
Created on Yindjibarndi country and the result of a 12-year community collaboration, Songs for Freedom tells stories of the vast, striking beauty of this place and its people.
Guided by Ngarluma and Yinjibarndi Elders, songwriters from the Pilbara sing for freedom. A stunning intercultural band including the extraordinary talented Kutcha Edwards, Naomi Pigram, Kankawa Nagarra, Fred Ryan and John Bennet, join musicians and friends to pay tribute to the family of John Pat in the 40th anniversary year of his passing in custody. The Pat family generously shared their story, their longing for peace and their love of music. These powerful songs give us the opportunity to stand together with his community and sing for peace and freedom for Aboriginal young people, like John, caught up in the justice system.
