Listen "Christine Anu's storyteller songs"
Episode Synopsis
Christine Anu is a legend in Australian music. We first met her in the mid 90’s, when her debut album Stylin’ Up came out and went platinum. It was filled with hits like 'Monkey & the Turtle and Party', and featured Christine singing in English and traditional language on a pop record. This was 1995, and while Yothu Yindi and the Warumpi band had paved the way, singing in language was far from mainstream. It was the beginning of an epic career for Christine Anu that includes music, film, theatre and TV. For this Take 5, I asked Christine to share the storytellers from the decade that had shaped her, the 90’s. Across five songs, Christine shares stories and personal history she never has before. Her love and respect for those who supported her early on, is so strong throughout too. This is a conversation full of heart and conviction.
