The Wilcannia Mob: Next Generation - 'River Down'
Desert Pea Media is very proud to announce our latest release 'River Down' - straight out of the community of Wilcannia – the cultural heart of Paakantji Country in Western NSW.
The song was created in May 2017 as part of a 2 Week Desert Pea Media (DPM) storytelling workshop in partnership with Far West Local Health District ‘Quit for New Life’ Project.
It stars one of the original members of 'The Wilcannia Mob', Lyndall King, and a group of community members including vocalist Owen Whyman Snr and Maureen King aka 'Radio Mor'.
DPM was invited to Wilcannia to facilitate a conversation about important issues facing the community around healthy choices and to create some works that would inspire and educate.
This production was co-written by DPM staff Toby Finlayson, Michael Graham, Jared Melrose, Nicky Akehurst and Josh Nicholas.Music produced by Sydney - based music producer Josh ‘Hazy’ Nicholas, and mixed by his father, David Nicholas.
