Indigenous rock
I was looking through the fantastic archive of Australian music videos on youtube and was reminded of what a blossoming of indigenous rock/pop there was in the 1980s. Seems to have ended with the Yothu Yindi hit in 91 and nothing like it has resurfaced since.
This is No Fixed Address from the 1980 film Wrong Side of the Road that gave them some profile.
This is Coloured Stone from 1984 – Black Boy.
Them also doing Dancing in the Moonlight from 86.
The fabulous Warumpi Band doing Black Fella, White Fella from 87.
And the original of My Island Home from 88.
Kev Carmody with Thou Shall Not Steal from 89.
Archie Roach, Down City Streets from 91.
