Songlines on RTRFM: Clint Bracknell “Maatakitj” (Djilba)

In Djilba Cezera catches up with colleague and friend Clint Bracknell aka Maatakitj.

Originally from the south coast Noongar region of WA, Clint is a music-maker and language revivalist with a passion for connecting linguistics to song, culture and landscapes.

He has performed and written music for the stage and screen, co-translating a full-length Shakespearean work for Perth Festival as well as a feature film dub entirely in Noongar language. 

Clint has served as a deputy chair of The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Centre and worked as a high school music teacher; guiding the next generation to develop their musical and cultural knowledge.

Songlines is a new RTRFM podcast shining a light on First Nations artists across WA.
