Description
First Nations listeners are advised that this program contains the names and voices of people who have died.
At the start of NAIDOC Week, The Music Show explores the legacy of the late Ruby Hunter – short in stature, a giant in music, and a mentor and parental figure to so many First Nations musicians in subsequent generations. We’ll hear Ruby from the archives, and catch up with Emily Wurramara and Dan Sultan, both of whom have sung a tribute to Ruby Hunter alongside their fantastic new albums.
Dan Sultan reunites with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to perform 12 & 13 July, before playing Yabaardu in Ceduna SA on 19 July.
Emily Wurramara is performing at Live in the Gardens on 13 November.
