WIYA! Angela Pamela

WIYA! Angela Pamela - debut CD opposing Alice Springs Uranium Mine in Luritja W.Aranda and English http://tiny.cc/wiyaAngelaPamela


Launch of debut single “WIYA! ANGELA PAMELA”
with
Super Raelene Bros vs Little Sisters Collective


Less than 20kms from Alice Springs Canadian miner CAMECO wants to mine uranium from the ‘Angela-Pamela’ deposit. When the seasonal dust-storms blow from the south, the Indigenous communities of Amoonguna, Anthepe, Karnte, and Ilparpa are likely to be the first to swallow radioactive nucleides carried by the dust and wind. Unbelievably, Angela-Pamela is located within Alice Springs’ precious and fragile water-catchment.

In opposition to the mine, well known Alice band Super Raelene Bros. have teamed up with Western Arrarnta and Luritja musicians – ‘the Little Sisters Collective’ - to release their debut single WIYA! ANGELA PAMELA.

This unique single is performed in Luritja and Western Arrarnta with a smattering of English scattered across a deep and funky dance groove in a style reminiscent of the 1990’s hit song ‘Treaty’.

The song celebrates the growing campaign of opposition to uranium mining at Angela-Pamela. With nationwide airplay the single will take the campaign against uranium mining at Angela Pamela to the national stage.

The song launch will take place on the Council Lawns and the free event, supported by the Arid Lands Environment Centre, will feature performances by various local artists, speeches, information stalls and a Nuclear Free BBQ.
