Deen Maar

In 2015, this song was used by First Languages Australia to open Mother Tongue Day. It was written in collaboration with Ub Ubbo Exchange and the Parkes Wiradjuri Language Group in Central West, NSW. It is entirely sung in the Wiradjuri language and features Wiradjuri singers and musicians. In 2019, it used again to help celebrate the United Nations The Year of Indigenous Languages for the Parkes council.
