Pete Dawson
In Didj'n'Us Mujik & Kulcha... Pete Dawson will be presenting In Didj'n'Us each MONDAY 1-3PM exploring his love of and involvement with First Nations musicians from the AustralAsian region... In the spirit of "Blackfella, Whitefella" I explore The First Nations songmen & women, plus the non-aboriginal musicians who have been instrumental in assisting blek balas to make it in the music industry.
