Yirrmal says “Shining Light represents my homeland called Yalangbara, also known as Gulurunga’.

“The English name is Port Bradshaw; it’s a very special and sacred place for my people, the Rirratjingu clan.  It is one of the most significant cultural areas for Yolngu because of it’s role in the creation story of the Rirratjingu clan, based on our Djang’kawu ancestors. The shining light above in the sky above guides us to back to our traditional lands of Yalangbara, to our culture and our lore”.

The stunning, sensual and evocative music video for Shining Light was choreographed by world-renowned artistic director of NT Dance Company, Gary Lang, presenting the best of contemporary dance fused and rooted in the traditions of Indigenous Australia.
