A different kind of cover - Mitch Tambo performs 'You’re the Voice' in Gamilaraay language
Share
Australian singer Mitch Tambo, an indigenous Gamilaraay and Birri Gubba man, delivered a rendition of John Farnham’s classic 'You're the Voice' as part of Australian Survival Day, Invasion Day and Australia Day events. The Gamilaraay language is no longer spoken, the last fluent speakers dying out in the 1950s. However, some parts have been reconstructed by late field-work, which includes substantial recordings of the related language, Yuwaalaraay, which continued to be spoken down to the 1980s.
