Ruby Hunter

Ruby Hunter, the first Australian Indigenous woman to be signed by a major record company died overnight.

I found Ruby Hunter's voice through my beloved Seachange soundtrack. When you listen to her voice you can hear life in it, and I adore Aurukun Moonlight. It's a sad loss for Australian music.

Her death is a very sad loss for all of us. I found her via Archie Roach (and I can't remember when I first heard him) and thought she was amazing. She seems to have been an incredible woman.
