Two families come together in a collaborative ceremony known as Yerambooee, where the Wurundjeri, Woi-Wurrung, and Yolŋu peoples from North East Arnhem Land present an immersive gathering of song, ceremony, and dance. Held on a vast sand circle at Fed Square, this event is open and free to the public, with the performance beginning at 7pm.

This unique experience captures the essence of both traditional and modern ceremony through ritual, dance, and interactive elements. Attendees are invited to engage with the meaning and significance behind the dances and songs shared by the Wurundjeri and Yolŋu.

Led by Senior Elder Aunty Joy Murphy and Arnhem Land senior law man Don Wininba, Wurundjeri and Yolŋu performers will offer a memorable journey celebrating the legacies of @gurrumul and Barak.

Aunty Joy explains Yerambooee as “A historical cultural event where moorook nareen narkwarren skin name family come together to honour legendary artists Wurundjeri Ngurungaeta William Barak and Yolgnu son Geoffrey Gurrumul.”

Yerambooee is a free, family friendly event and part of ALWAYS LIVE 2024 @visitmelbourne #ALWAYSLIVE #visitmelbourne @skinnyfish_music, @fed.square, Aunty Joy Murphy, Don Winiba, Yolŋu performers, Wurrundjeri Dancers, @djirridjirri, @bankdoktati, @chenilechandler taken in Fed Square by @bandoktati

Bandok Tati - The Small Ant Brothers

Bandok Tati is a Wurundjeri young men's dance group, a collective of passionate, staunch Wayalak Gulin (young men) who love their culture and wish to make the whole world more aware of their beautiful, sacred culture and history. We also love to share our culture and stories with community, inviting them to come and dance with us regardless of their mob. Bandok Tati translates from our mother tongue, the Woiworrung language of the Wurndjeri people (also the language of which all of our songs are sung in), and it means Small Ant (Bandok) Brothers (Tati). We live on and primarily operate on Wurundjeri Biik (country), our borders extend from the Mordialloc Creek in the south to the Werribee River in the west. The meaning behind our name represents how ants, when they are alone, you may think of them as small and insignificant, you may not even notice them at times, but, it’s when they come together and build their home, which is giant in comparison to the size of the ants. It speaks upon the feats we achieve together, as brothers. taken in Wurundjeri Country by @bandoktati
