Indigenous Hip Hop artists Jess, Danzel, Jjay & Syd worked in Angurugu community alongside the Eylandt Band, East Arnhem Sport & Rec, Rangers & Angurugu School to create this epic song with a chorus that no one is ready for!! The ANGURUGU ANTHEM !!

Developed around positive power and a proud unified community, this song will take you on a melodically journey of their time and their story. We cannot thank enough, praise and feel so blessed to have had on board the incredible Eylandt Band, Sport & Rec crew, Rangers and the school to work out of. It truly is Angurugu's time and story to be told!!

Angurugu Anthem speaks the language of Hip Hop and their native tongue. Listen carefully to the words as they share their culture through the lyrics and witness the empowerment through their cultural dance.
