- WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers are advised that the following program may contain images and/or audio of deceased persons
Produced by the ABC’s Indigenous Programs Unit, Songlines launched in the late 1990s, bringing First Nations music and culture to national television audiences in a bold new format.
In this clip from the first episode, host Michelle Tuahine introduces the series as ‘Australia’s black music show’ and interviews acclaimed vocal trio Tiddas — Lou Bennett, Amy Saunders and Sally Dastey — as they prepare for the 1997 Deadly Awards.
It’s a powerful opening to a program that championed story, solidarity and sound, and marked a pivotal moment in Australian broadcasting.
