cockatoo.jpg

WHITE Cockatoo is an Australian indigenous performing group made up of senior Aboriginal men from Arnhem Land, in the northern territory of Australia. 

The artists are from the Mialili, Guningu, Rembarrnga and Burrara language groups, sharing the same social and family affiliations.

Their corroboree (their music, song and dance) is a part of one of the planet’s oldest unbroken artistic traditions, and their country is the traditional birthplace and home of the Australian Aboriginal musical instrument the Didgeridoo.

Chiwoniso, who fronts the acoustic group Chiwoniso and Vibe Culture, has collaborated with musicians Marie Boine, Brilliant, Kris Kristoffersen and Sinead O’Connor as well as singing with Women’s Voice.
