Waak
Waak Jungi is the story of the intensive living
together of two Arnhemland traditional songmen
and members of the tiny rural community of Christmas
Hills near Melbourne (Vic) over the past four
years.
This
recording is an account of the process we went
through; there are traditional songs sung traditionally
- reconstructions of 'lost' songs in the now extinct
Woiwurrung language of the Melbourne and Yarra
people and there are intensive rave songs - specifically
recorded as performance pieces. Jimmy described
this process as 'sharing the culture'. After an
initial introduction (this took some years!) it
became possible to 'care' sufficiently - that
is to comprehend, hear, respond, respect - to
play together.
