The Black Arm Band is an Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) music theatre organisation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.australiacouncil.gov.au/%E2%80%8E/ )〕 The organisation has produced seven large-scale productions since its debut performance at the Melbourne Festival of the Arts in 2006 in addition to ongoing educational and development work in remote Aboriginal communities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.blackarmband.com.au/#!about/cadp )〕 Members are drawn from around Australia and include both blackfulla and whitefulla musicians with diverse musical backgrounds. The organisation's name comes from a speech by former Australian Prime Minister John Howard who referred to a "black armband view of history". Their first show, ''murundak'' (meaning "alive" in Woiwurrung), debuted at the 2006 Melbourne International Arts Festival and has since played around Australia and internationally in London,〔Q Weekend Magazine. 12 July 2008 (Solid Rock )〕〔Evening Standard. 27 June 2008 (Oz still has its wizards )〕〔The West Australian. 25 February 2008 (Perfect time to celebrate indigenous Oz )〕〔X-Press Magazine. 21 February 2008 (Murundak – The Black Armband )〕〔The Sydney Morning Herald. 31 December 2007 (Musical Journey to Aboriginal heart )〕 and their second show ''Hidden Republic'' debuted at the 2008 Melbourne International Arts Festival, both Festivals being under the artistic direction of Kristy Edmunds.〔Melbourne International Arts Festival program (The Black Arm Band. Hidden Republic )〕〔The Age. 22 October 2008 (Yunupingu takes Black Arm Band message to the world )〕 In 2009 the new artistic director of the renamed Melbourne Festival, Brett Sheehy, continued the relationship with The Black Arm Band, which saw the commissioning and presentation of the premiere productions of ''Dirtsong'' (2009), ''Seven Songs to Leave Behind'' (2010) and ''Notes From the Hard Road And Beyond'' (2011). The first was a celebration of preservation of Indigenous languages with Miles Franklin Award-winner Alexis Wright; the second an international collaboration by contemporary Indigenous singers and musicians including the legendary Gurrumul Yunupingu joined by Sinéad O'Connor, John Cale, Rickie Lee Jones and Meshell Ndegeocello; and the third saw Mavis Staples, Joss Stone, Emmanuel Jal and Paul Dempsey join The Black Arm Band to celebrate protest music from the 1960s through to contemporary Indigenous songs of activism. ==Members== David Arden Mark Atkins Lou Bennett Deline Briscoe George Burarrwanga John Butler Liz Cavanagh Sally Dastey Emma Donovan Kutcha Edwards Dewayne Everettsmith Leah Flanagan Joe Geia Shane Howard Ruby Hunter Paul Kelly Bunna Lawrie Jimmy Little Rachael Maza Djolpa McKenzie Lee Morgan Shellie Morris Stephen Pigram Archie Roach Peter Rotumah Amy Saunders Dan Sultan Bart Willoughby Ursula Yovich Gurrumul Yunupingu Gabanbulu Yunupingu 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Black Arm Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
