The compilation CD is the product of a professional recording and music tuition process involving the Martu, Muntjiltjarra and Ngaanyatjarra people of the Mid West region.

Regional officer for the Western Australia Music Industry Association Nigel Bird says that the project goes beyond the success of the final CD.

"We spent about 18 months building relationships out in Wiluna with Martu people and we started a Wiluna music committee and from that we had a music open day and a big concert," he said.

"It's been really exciting for the town to have a really positive arts project."

One of the young musicians involved in the project, 11 year old drummer Marshal Mongu, had the community in awe at the recent Wiluna launch.

"I reckon there was about 10 or 15 kids with their phones out filming him, they were a couple of years younger and its fantastic to see that there is that role model element in the program," Mr Bird said.

Like oral history projects across Australia, music can play an important role in the preservation of Indigenous languages and culture, "in song you are able to teach kids really easily so I think that's really important in keeping culture strong."

"In 100 years time hopefully someone picks up the CD and they still know the words and the language is still strong."
