Wadeye Song Database
This database presents the results of the Murriny Patha song project, conducted by Linda Barwick, Allan Marett, Michael Walsh, Joe Blythe, Nick Reid and Lysbeth Ford in 2004-2009. This research was funded by the Australian Research Council project DP0450131 “Preserving Australia’s endangered heritages: Murrinh-patha song at Wadeye” (2004-2008). You can find more information about the project at our project website. Linda Barwick coordinated the database development with Daniel Tse and Aidan Wilson providing technical assistance in its implementation. The project is headquartered in the Faculty of Arts, University of Sydney.
This database documents the history, language and music of public songs and dances composed and performed at Wadeye (also known as Port Keats) in Australia’s Northern Territory. It focuses on three songsets of Murriny Patha people: djanba, wurltjirri and malgarrin. We also include information on other public songs performed in the Wadeye area, including lirrga and wangga.
