Manikay are the ancestral songs of Arnhem Land, passed down over
generations and shaping relationships between people and the
country.Singing Bones foregrounds the voices of manikay singers
from Ngukurr in southeastern Arnhem Land and charts their
critically acclaimed collaboration with jazz musicians from the
Australian Art Orchestra, Crossing Roper Bar. It offers an overview
of WAgilak manikay narratives and style, including their social,
ceremonial and linguistic aspects, and explores the Crossing Roper
Bar project as an example of creative intercultural collaboration
and a living continuation of the manikay tradition."Through song,
the ancestral past animates the present, moving yolAu (people) to
dance. In song, community is established. By song, the past enfolds
the present. Today, the unique voices of WAgilak resound over the
ancestral ground and water, carried by the songs of old." Audio
