Native Tongue by Mojo Juju
Mojo Juju's third studio album, “Native Tongue”, was released in August 2018 via ABC Music. The album explores Juju's own family history and personal experiences.
“I wrote this song as an expression of some complex emotions, such as grief for a loss of culture and Indigenous languages and other impacts of assimilation, colonisation and the white-washing of non-western cultures. This is not a song of self-pity, it is a song of self-empowerment,” Juju says.
The music video for "Native Tongue" - directed by Claudia Sangiorgi and featuring the Djuki Mala dancers - won the 2018 J Award for Australian Music Video of the Year.
