About

Baiyiya Yapaneyepuk translates to Song Together in Yorta Yorta language.

Baiyiya Yapaneyepuk is all about song being shared. Song being shared together, generated by kinship systems that are linked to many thousands of years of connection to this land and to the culture that it is connected to.

Baiyiya Yapaneyepuk is an event that will give both a glimpse into the future, and a special offering of the now, featuring a line-up of some of the most exciting emerging Yorta Yorta talent from the local region alongside more established artists.

The line-up brings together DJVM – a Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wiradjuri woman who will DJ throughout the event, offering selections of First Nations sounds. We’ll then hear from the powerful Shepparton based emerging star – and Yorta Yorta, Kuku Yalanji woman – Lillie Walker. Lillie will be followed by talented Yorta Yorta, Bundjalung songwriter, Shanikwa AJ.  And then onto local Yorta Yorta hip hop and spoken word artist, Bricky B . Headlining this event is the exciting and captivating talent that is 2016 X Factor winner, Isaiah Firebrace (Yorta Yorta , Gunditjmara).

This #SheppMusicWeek showcase is brought to you by Still Here, Riverlinks, Songlines and Music Victoria.
