Emily Wurramara references her home of Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory through her music. Emily sings in both English and Anindilyakwa, the traditional language of her home where she grew up fishing, listening to stories of dreams and dolphins, as well as travelling around the islands to visit family. Brisbane City Gospel Choir (BCGC) - BCGC is a multi-purpose and culturally diverse group represented with members of different nationalities and backgrounds and was founded in 2010 by Tosin Adewumi (Music Director). The BCGC sound combines the richness of contemporary gospel music with an underlying musical taste spanning different contemporary styles, all in one, with rich harmonies. Time and activity is a subject to change.
