In 1997 the Broome Aboriginal Media Association formed Goolarri Media Enterprises Pty Ltd as a means of attaining self sufficiency through the commencement of operation in the media and arts industries.
This was the first recording on the Goolarri Music Label, made possible by funding from the Department of Culture and the Arts and the Australia Council for the Arts.
The Kimberley Region in the north-west of Australia has, because of its isolation, always had its share of untapped musical talent. We hope that this recording exposes to the world some of the many fine singers and songwriters from the region. Enjoy.
