Summary
Nyilipidgi lies north-east of Ngukurr, in Australia's Arnhem Land. At the heart of the ancient culture of the Wagilak people, who continue to care for these ancestral homelands, is the tradition of manikay: shared songs which bind the community together, both reflecting on and creating a sense of identity, place and unity. Nyilipidgi brings together David Yipininy Wilfred, the traditional djunggayi (manager) of the manikay of the country of Nyilipidgi, and his brother Daniel Ngukurr Boy Wilfred, with the Monash Art Ensemble and Paul Grabowsky, one of Australia's most respected musical figures a multi ARIA-Award-winning jazz composer and performer. The project was first performed at the 2015 Melbourne International Jazz Festival
