- About Yulugi
-
Yulugi is a collaboration between Gumaroy Newman, a Gamilaroi and Wakka Wakka song man and didjeridu player, and Keyna Wilkins, a NSW-based composer and musician (piano, flute). They combine Aboriginal and Western sounds in structured improvisation.
Formed in early 2019, Yulugi describes itself as "a dialogue across cultures, inspired by the Australian landscape and animals, and accompanied by projected imagery". 'Yulugi' means to play, dance or have fun in Gamilaroi.

The album concept is based on the Gamilaroi star-lore myth that Berriberri (the constellation Orion) set out in pursuit of the Miai-miai (the star cluster Pleiades) and cornered them in a mother tree where they were transformed into yellow and white cockatoos.
