Standing Strong is the stunning first solo album from singer/songwriter and Mudburra man Ray Dimakarri Dixon.
Standing Strong is Ray’s first solo album though he has been a proud leader in Australia's Indigenous music scene for many years. His storytelling began around campfires, and has now spread across the world.
Ray and his family are leaders in the fight to stop the fracking of their country and the entire NT; mining that threatens their home, their water, their Song lines and a priceless land that belongs to the future.
This struggle for country and culture has inspired some of Ray Dimakarri Dixon’s most powerful and haunting work yet.
In our yarn, Ray DImakkari Dixon said it took him more than two years to put this album together and he worked with more than 20 other artists.
Standing Strong is a poignant plea to his fellow countrymen not to give in, to fight to protect the future of the land and future of their children. It will be launcehd this Sunday 15/09/2019 in Melbourne.
