Vinyl and CD packaging for a release on Melbourne label Efficient Space featuring the little-heard mid-90s recordings of Waak Waak Djungi, three Yolngu songmen — Bobby Bunnungurr, Jimmy Djamunba and Peter Milaynga (d. 2007) — working in collaboration with Victorian musician Peter Mumme. Yolngu are the indigenous peoples of Arnhem Land in Northern Territory, Australia; their clans are the Marangu and Malabirr, the languages Djinang and Gannalbingu. Their songs are of instruction, story and ceremony. Waak Waak ga Min Min (Black Crow, White Cockatoo) combines previously unreleased material with five contemporary versions from the groups 1997 CD album Crow Fire Music. Cover painting by Bobby Bunnungurr.
