An interview with Gina Williams recorded in 2015 for our Local Talent Time segment, about her story and the CD, Kalyakoorl (which means Forever). This album is a glorious journey into the incredibly rare and beautiful Noongar language. Kalyakoorl is brimming with evocative, beautifully crafted songs and showcases the jaw dropping combination of Guy’s guitar mastery and Gina’s incredible voice.
