Final Songs for Freedom concert in Roebourne inspires young Aboriginal musicians

In the remote Aboriginal town of Roebourne in Western Australia's north, music has long served as a powerful medium for sharing cultural and political stories. For 14 years, the annual 'Songs for Freedom' concert has been a vital platform for artists to express these narratives through song. This weekend marked the final Roebourne concert, with the community hoping its legacy will inspire the next generation to continue this rich tradition of storytelling. Please note, this story contains the name of an Indigenous person who has passed away.
