Yuupurnju: A Warlpiri song cycle, by Henry Cooke Anderson Jakamarra, with Jerry Patrick Jangala, Steven Dixon Japanangka, Wanta Steven Patrick Pawu-Kurlpurlurnu Jampijinpa, Carmel O’Shannessy and Myfany Turpin, documents a ceremonial song cycle as sung by Warlpiri Elder Henry Cooke Anderson Jakamarra at Lajamanu, NT, in 2013. The song cycle relates to a women’s Jukurrpa Dreaming narrative, as a group of ancestral women journey across the country. The book presents the verses and explains their meanings, and provides QR codes for the audio of each. Join Warlpiri elder Robin Japanangka Granites, Myfany Turpin, Carmel O’Shannessy for the offical launch of this important publication.
