Yindjibarndi Ngurra

£1,925

In the Ngurra Nyujunggamu, the Marrga sat on the ground at Ganiyanha on the Birlinbirlin in the Yarndanyirranha singing the Burndud – the cycle of songs that we sing today at our Birdarra Law ceremonies every year.

Their first song is Marrala Gurrbaru, the song of the butcherbird calling up the first light. They sang the Yurra , Wilara, Jirrdha, the Bulinyjinmarra marrga and Bragunyji, Mumiya, Waramurrungga, Winyyarrangu, Thurdunha and all things into being.
