In February 2022, the legendary Gunditjamara (Kirrae Whurrong/Djab Wurrung), Bundjalung Senior Elder, song man and storyteller, Archie Roach AC AM released his anthology album My Songs: 1989–2021. It featured only one lead single – the meaningful and affecting One Song, which became the title of the MSO’s landmark concert in tribute to Archie’s life and work. MSO.LIVE is proud to present its performance of One Song: The Music of Archie Roach, which took pride of place at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in February 2022. A collaboration between Archie and his long-time friend and musical collaborator Paul Grabowsky AO, this stunning and moving concert was Archie’s last performance with the MSO. An evening of powerful song and sublime storytelling, this performance includes iconic songs such as Took the Children Away, Jamu Dreaming and Weeping in the Forest, which each tell of trauma, identity, and hope. The MSO’s triumphant concert is released here to honour NAIDOC Week 2023.
