Released in 1985, Warumpi Band’s ‘Blackfella/Whitefella’ was a call for unity sung in both English and Luritja. Powerfullydirect and unapologetic, it voiced reconciliation at a time when few bands dared. This live clip from Broome Town Hall is rough but electrifying: George Rrurrambu’s soaring vocals, Sammy Butcher’s bluesy bass and Neil Murray’s grounding guitar, captured with all the quirks of amateur camerawork – missed cues, zoom-happy pans, audience sweeps. What matters is the energy. The track became the heartbeat of the landmark Blackfella/Whitefella tour with Midnight Oil, and it endures as both protest song and cultural milestone. As music history, it’s essential; as performance, it still crackles.
