How Can We Dance (Part 1)

I’d like to acknowledge and pay respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of the nation many of us call Australia. WARNING: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners should be aware that this episode contains the voices and words of people who have died. This is part one of our two-part exploration of Australian political and protest songs. We explore the role of music in bringing about social and political change, and discover the songs that have helped disseminate information, change public opinion, galvanize a movement, or even transform laws or policies.
