The Indigenous singer came onto the program on Friday to discuss his latest hit single, Dreamtime Single, and the importance of NAIDOC week.

Mitch was asked about playing the song at Fire Fight Australia with John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John, which he says was an ‘honour, blessing and a privilege.’

The discussion then turned to NAIDOC and the theme of ‘Heal Country,’ and what it meant to him.

‘What a poignant theme it is this year,’ Tambo responded. ‘Us as First Nations Aboriginal black fellas, we are circle people, we are connected to country.

‘Country is us and we country,’ he continued. ‘So to have this conversation around healing country, I think, is a really timely and beautiful thing.’

Mitch then talked about his latest single, Dreamtime Princess, which he says was a ‘fun track,’ but came from a ‘serious place.’ 

The theme of the song took the singer back to his roots to face the overrepresentation of domestic violence in his ‘community.’
