00:04From the sounds of saltwater country in the Top End, to reggae from the Red Centre.
00:14Bands from some of Australia's most remote and smallest communities taking to the main
00:19stage for a big crowd.
00:39The Bush Bands Bash is now in its 22nd year of celebrating and developing remote musical
00:45talent, a chance to share music and culture from far and wide.
00:50In the morning yesterday I was very like emotional that we are here first time.
00:57This is feeling me like excited and we have to give them more a culture, what we have in
01:04our heart and give it to them into centre.
01:08The diversity of up and coming First Nations artists has been on display at this year's
01:13Bush Bands Bash.
01:14From pop to reggae to rock and hip hop, this is more than just a gig, it's a launchpad.
01:21The big show came after a week long development camp, sessions that help these home grown
01:26acts hone their craft and confidence.
01:29It was really the show who started it and then we thought we've suddenly got all these
01:33musicians from like, you know, nine hours away.
01:35We should really use that opportunity to provide some skills development.
01:39It's so much fun.
01:40Every day we've got workshops, rehearsals, we've got mentors.
01:45Yeah, it's pretty full on.
01:47Music, the shared language at Bush Bands Bash.
01:51.
