Kimberley Language Song Muster

Strengthening First Languages in the Kimberley through Song

The Language Song Muster builds on Tura’s Sound FX program, a long-running initiative that has supported community music-making in the Kimberley since 2017. This next phase extends that work, deepening its impact while opening new pathways for collaboration across the region.

As the project grows, collaborations will extend beyond the Fitzroy Valley into other parts of the Kimberley. These creative engagements will involve time on Country, songwriting workshops, and opportunities for recording and performance, shaped in partnership with local communities.

Song plays a vital role in strengthening language, culture, and community. Through creating and sharing music, participants build confidence in language use, connect across generations and contribute to ongoing cultural knowledge. The Language Song Muster aims to support a growing culture of language singing across the Kimberley, where songs are created, remembered, and shared.

Ongoing Engagements

At the core of the Language Song Muster are a series of creative engagements across the Kimberley. These ongoing engagements bring together songwriters, language educators, musicians, and community members to develop new songs in First Languages through shared, on-Country experiences.

Each engagement creates space for collaborative songwriting, recording, and cultural exchange. Activities may include workshops, informal music-making, and time spent connecting with place and language, supporting participants to develop songs that reflect local knowledge and stories.
