Djarliny
Djarliny was written by Aboriginal teenagers from the small rural town of Narrogin in Western Australia. It is about listening to Noongar Elders when they are telling you about their land and culture.
Djarliny means ‘listen’ in Noongar, the traditional language of South Western Australia. It is a language that is classed as endangered as there are less than 350 fluent speakers alive.
This music video was part of a year long project delivered by Community Arts Network aimed to inspire young people to learn and embrace their language and traditional culture, whilst living a contemporary lifestyle.
The young people made the song with the assistance of hip hop producer Scott 'Optamus' Griffiths and Noongar songwriter Gina Williams.
The music clip is produced and directed by visual artist and filmmaker Poppy van Oorde-Grainger.
