This multiracial Australian band (the name is an Australian aboriginal
phrase for 'Mother Child') blended native and white sounds and
sentiments.
Yothu Yindi were founded in 1986, the year of Australia's
bicentennial, and practiced a highly politicised and nationalistic form
of music making. Drawing from sounds as diverse as the didgeridoo and
the electric guitar, and finding great thematic inspiration in Bob
Marley, Yothu Yindi played for cultural harmony and aboriginal
integrity.
Their albums included Tribal Voice (1992) - which included
their hit single Treaty - and Freedom (1993).
