It was so incredible to see Mitch Tambo perform ‘Great Southern Land’ in Gamilaraay language with Reigan Derry at the SCG on Friday night. Not just because they are both amazing singers, and it’s beautiful to hear the words in language, but for me mainly because they played the clip with all the words written in language up on the enormous screen. Making this language accessible to everyone for me is a huge part of all Australians embracing our incredible and ancient cultural heritage. Mitch has a powerful message of love and peace and acceptance and wishes to empower younger generations across all cultures to celebrate their identity and to feel confident to sing in their native languages. Here's a link to the video.
