Uncle Kutcha Edwards has been combining songwriting and activism since 1991, with celebrated works including Yuyukatha, Inside Outside Prison Tour, Circling Time, and Songlines of a Mutti Mutti Man. For the last five years he’s been opening his car door for beloved First Peoples artists and inviting them on a front seat musical journey through the streets of Naarm. Kutcha’s Carpool Koorioke (on NITV and online) has seen him “cruise the dirty mile” of Fitzroy on Wurundjeri Country with the likes of Dan Sultan and the late, great Archie Roach.
Now he’s parking the idea in The Forum and hosting a ceremony that’ll bring together young and old from the afternoon, into the night. It’s a chance to lift up the anthems that’ve shaped the Blak artistic landscape for the past 40 years. Featuring a vibrant group of guests including Joe Geia and Bart Willoughby from No Fixed Address, Alice Skye, Barkaa, Bumpy, Dobby, Eleanor Dixon, Emily Wurramara, Linc Yow Yeh, Maylene, Mo’Ju, Sue Ray, David Arden, Jay Jarome Bushby, Kamahi, Shellie Morris and more.
In Uncle Kutcha’s words it’s:
“A show you experience
NOT just Hear and See
Raise up your voices
Get Ready to Dance
Let’s Kick up Dust Together!”
