Listen "Nancy Bates' songs that bring stories to light"
Episode Synopsis
Nancy Bates is a proud Barkindji song woman, a mentor, and a curator. She recognises the power of song in sharing stories; particularly the songlines that tell the stories of First Nations peoples in Australia.During the Adelaide Fringe in 2022, Nancy is also behind the soundtrack for a huge and beautiful performance piece called Sky Song. It’s all about light, so I thought I’d marry the two ideas in her theme, and ask her to share songs that bring stories to light. What she shared, will stay with me forever. It’s a reminder of the power of sharing, but also of hearing, of really listening.From Archie Roach to Electric Fields, and many discoveries in between, let Nancy Bates bring stories to light.Archie Roach - There’s A Little ChildAllara - Rekindled SystemsCorey Theatre - Ngathuk NgalinaAimee Volkofsky - BuriedElectric Fields - Nina
