about

This song written and performed by Jeremy Whisky from Indulkana; with him is brother Kupa Henry, Darcy Davis and Jason Cullinan.
This is a jubilant celebration of The Tjukurpa, the spirit of the Land and its people, Anangu. Unashamed, brave, proud, All of us! The Tjukurpa belongs to you, me, the old, the young, it is ours to have and hold.

lyrics

UWA!!
Nganana APY Landangka nyinapayi ka nganana mukuringkupayi culture kunpu kanyintjaku
Tjamuku arangkala kunpu ngarama

Nyuntumpa, nganampa, uwankaraku
Tjitji tjuta, Wati tjuta, minyma kulu
Mukuringma.
