Garrangali Album cover

This album ‘Garrangali’ (Crocodile Nest) is a unique and innovative enterprise development opportunity from the youth and community of Yilpara, and is an exciting celebration of dedication, initiative and hard work.  Music crosses all borders and boundaries, seeking to infuse, unite and engage.

The lyrics and Manikays of this album embraces the deep connection and relationship between the ancestral land and sea and the visions of the old people, strengthened by strong community spirit and cultural integrity.  The album package features a DVD that includes music videos of two featured songs, ‘Mungurru’ and ‘Muthi Muthi’.

Skinnyfish Music (SFM) is much more than a record label and their vision is to develop and promote positive, long-term outcomes for indigenous people and communities through music.  At SFM, we undertake community development projects that help us achieve the following:

• elevate music as a tool for community development / community capacity building;
• provide opportunities and outlets for indigenous people and communities;
• enter into partnerships with artists and their communities to develop both artistic product and business entities that the artist or community own and control; and
• continually raise the standard of interaction between indigenous musicians and commercial enterprises.

Skinnyfish Music regularly completes projects for various health and educational organisations and an array of government departments.
