Monkey Marc and Kim Williamson spoke with the Big Brekky Show about the Crown and Country singing project from the remote central desert community of Lajamanu.  At the heart of Crown and Country is the voice of the prolific Warlpiri philosopher, teacher and artist, Wanta Jampijinpa Pawu-Kurlpurlurnu and he joins his father Jerry Jangala Patrick OAM, one of the most important Warlpiri songmen alive today, whose traditional singing at ~90 years grounds the work in Warlpiri ceremonial song. 

Alongside contemporary compositions by Marc ‘Monkey’ Peckham, Crown and Country translates their deep intergenerational cultural knowledge into immersive music and film, where Wanta Jampijinpa invites you into a desert journey through the Warlpiri universe to gain a deeper understanding of belonging, connection, and responsibility to Country.
