Chords for Yothu Yindi, Festival of Aboriginal Rock Music, Darwin 1988

_ What we're trying to do is bringing both worlds together.
Kalanda world of music and Yolngu world of music.
We draw on the Yolngu way of music because it's part of our life.
It's our foundation.
It's what we are.
It's how we identify ourselves as Yolngu.
Because the definition for Yolngu is a person who knows how to sing and [F#] dance. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The music that you're attending is basically _ set [G] on cultural _ _ maintenance. _
And bringing about change _ in the music situation as far as Aboriginal advancement is concerned.
But being consistent [F#] with traditional [D#] values [F#] and beliefs. _ _ _ _
