In this rare television appearance, First Nations blues singer-songwriter Allan Moarywaalla (widely known as Black Allan Barker) performs two songs in language on the music television show Just Folk.

This audio recording preserves Moarywaalla's presence on mainstream television in 1965, which was striking not only for its cultural significance but for the power of his performance. His mumbled responses in the opening interview contrast with the resonance of his singing, which blends blues stylings with traditional language, challenging genre constraints and asserting cultural identity. The choice to perform in language on a folk show both pushes the boundaries of mainstream music and speaks to the folk traditions of myth, community and oral history.

This recording offers a glimpse into Moarywaalla's early artistry and the broader context of Indigenous representation in Australian media, particularly in his proclamation of his Nyangumarta heritage on 1960s Australian television. It stands as both a musical moment and a cultural marker.
