  • Desert Pea Media are very proud to announce the release of a collaborative music/ film production with Wiradjuri young people and community members from Trangie and Narromine in Western NSW.
    This production was created in June 2023 - an outcome of a unique, collaborative creative process between Desert Pea Media artists, local Wiradjuri Elders, community members, knowledge holders, staff from local community services and an incredibly talented group of young people.
    The project came about through a partnership between Desert Pea Media and Narromine Community Skills Project Inc - supported by Trangie Central School and Trangie LALC. Funded by NSW Government - Department of Regional Youth.
    This compelling project, crafted by the Wungunja Warriors and DPM Creative Team, marks a significant achievement in storytelling, cultural preservation, and artistic expression for the Wiradjuri community in Trangie, NSW.
    The project encapsulates the voices, stories, and visions of the Wiradjuri young people, as they navigate the intricate tapestry of their heritage and contemporary existence. Guided by the artistic vision of Desert Pea Media, the Wungunja Warriors have seamlessly woven together narratives, visuals, and sounds that speak to the heart of Wiradjuri culture, and celebrate the strength, resilience, and cultural pride of Wiradjuri Young People.
    Special thanks to the Wiradjuri mob of Western NSW for having us on country.

    Lyrics
    Yaama, we in Trangie yo
    Here to break the stereo types
    it ain't no black and white
    Elders had to fight for our rights
    Now I hold my people and my culture tight
    Taking all these opportunities my futures bright
    Listening to yarns by the fire light,
    `Where!` by the fire light
    Hey bra, doin sis, goin to the waterhole
    One big mob from the young and the old
    We sing songs of the Wai wan, Wondibong
    In the Nation of Wiradgjuri (Straight in to next para)
    We got so much soul
    Lets go, thats how we roll
    black and white feet we stroll
    Time for us to take control - Time for us to take control.
    Yeah standing on the shoulder of our ancestors
    They gave us so much opportunity and honour
    Will you listen so that we can share our knowledge
    Lets open hearts and we can all embrace each other
    We got our totems
    Waagen, Googa, Garru, Budhara, Wangga Wanngga
    (Cow goanna magpie possum pugeon)
    We got our knowledge
    Yindyamarra, Yalbilinya, wudhagarbinya, gandaywarra (Respect, Learn, Listen, grow)
    This is our country
    Wambuul, billabong, Gin Gin, Dandaloo
    (river, waterhole)
    Ngurambang, Respect and connection
    (Country)
    We the Trangie mob our elders reflection
    V2
    Ive got three lines of ochre on my skin
    Distance, boundaries, respect from within
    We be doin fire dance
    Dillybag, Maliyan, Wagandaa and Dinniwaan
    No dog tags no more - wirray
    No shame no more - wirray
    We're hearing our call - wirray
    Respecting our lore - wirray
    (same as first flow)
    Together as one, this is how we move
    Never walking back like the emu or Ru
    Wunganja, this is how we do
    Who are you - Yeah we welcome you too!
    Kicking back being black, super rare artefact
    banging like clap stick, we light it black magic
    Biame the spirit it guides us- we live it - connected- we did it - connected we living
