Tiddas, 1992

1992

    • WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons

    Tiddas, featuring Lou Bennett, Amy Saunders and Sally Dastey, was one of the very first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women's musical groups. They began performing together as backing singers for Aboriginal band Djaambi in 1990 and formed as a trio to perform at Melbourne women's festival Hot Jam Cooking where Ruby Hunter dubbed the 'Tiddas', an Aboriginal word for sisters. Their ARIA award-winning second album, Sing About Life, includes the popular song 'Inanay' which is sung in Yorta Yorta language.
