Ruby Hunter performs 'Kup Murri', accompanied by Archie Roach, Amos Roach, Dave Arden and Irwin Baker, during the opening event for the Sydney Festival in January 2010. It's from Out and About, Hunter's celebrated children’s music show. This clip showcases how she effortlessly combines storytelling (her spoken explanation of Kup Murri) and music to engage young audiences, without speaking down to them. This performance stands out as a festival highlight because it embodies her deep connection to Country, community and culture, offering a model for how a children's show can be both entertaining and profoundly meaningful.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
