Country Outcasts is a band made up of Aboriginal country and western musicians who have grown up in the city. Now the Outcasts – including Harry, Wilga and Gus Williams, Mac Silver and Auriel Andrew – are going on tour to Central Australia, visiting Alice Springs and remote communities in Hermannsburg (Ntaria), Papunya and Yuendumu for the first time.
Country Outcasts offers a fascinating insight into the thoughts and feelings of the band as they bring their version of ‘white man's culture’ to Aboriginal communities where traditional culture and language are strong.
