<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1baOxLwccB8">Jailangaru Pakarnu</a> was the first song to hit the popular music charts sung in an Australian Aboriginal language, released by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warumpi_Band">Warumpi Band</a> in 1983. <br /><br />Jailangaru Pakarnu means "Out from Jail" in the Luritja language, and the rest of Warumpi Band's songs followed similar country-rock musical and lyrical themes documenting life in the Northern Territory and elsewhere through the 1980s and 90s. Consisting mainly of lead singer and didgeridoo player George Burarrwanga, a Yolngu man; brothers Gordon Butcher Tjapanangka and Sammy Butcher Tjapanangka, Luritja men; and Neil Murray, a whitefella from Victoria; the group disbanded in 2000.

So, in 1983, while the rest of the world was listening to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeG-hNXXy6I">Men at Work's "Down Under"</a>, Australia was getting introduced to a different kind of Australian music.

Thanks Trivia Newton John, that's great timing! I can't view it here in the UK but I'll see what I can do through a proxy as I think it'd be a really interesting story. Obviously My Island Home is written from George's perspective ("six years in the desert, but I come from across the sea" - although it was actually written by Neil after visiting Elcho Island) and man it resonates with me as a periodically very homesick Australian.
And yes, oneswellfoop, you're right! There had been popular indigenous singers prior to Warumpi (Jimmy Little, etc) but they were certainly the first Aboriginal band I was aware of.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132789-5236009Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:52:52 -0800gooBy: Trivia Newton John

Your timing was impeccable. I didn't realise what a superstar performer he was. I've pissed away an hour of precious pre exam study time to watch the doco and some live clips from Youtube. One commenter nailed it, Jagger was just the white George.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132789-5236014Fri, 11 Oct 2013 23:09:20 -0800Trivia Newton JohnBy: obiwanwasabi

Saw these guys a few times in the early-mid 80s around Darwin. Great live band, always got the room up and dancing.
George really was a natural.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132789-5236078Sat, 12 Oct 2013 02:21:07 -0800PouteriaBy: andraste

They were definitely the first indigenous band (or even indigenous point of view represented in music culture) I was aware of. Loved Blackfella Whitefella ever since seeing it on Beatbox back in the 80s (anyone else remember Beatbox?)comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132789-5236101Sat, 12 Oct 2013 04:25:17 -0800andrasteBy: LeLiLo

Late in the last century I went through a period where I spent a lot of time listening online to a radio station that broadcast from northern Australia and the Torres Strait islands. The Warumpi Band was one of my favorite groups it played regularly (along with Yothu Yindi, Christine Anu, and Archie Roach). I haven't been able to find the station for years; I wish it still existed.comment:www.metafilter.com,2013:site.132789-5237249Sat, 12 Oct 2013 23:49:07 -0800LeLiLo
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
