Heading To Melbourne Music Week Tonight? Then Check Out These Blak Sound 2019 Acts

Melbourne Music Week officially kicks off tonight, with VMDO's Blak Sound program helping shape the opening night's events. 

"The power of First Peoples carrying song in the now is a story of resilience," said VMDO First Peoples Business Manager, Neil Morris. 

"It is a story of Blak survival. It is a story of sound that has always been expressed through this land. It is a story of sound that has in one form or another been expressed through peoples of this land.

"Blak Sound is a program designed to realise the vision of more First Peoples, building sustainable contemporary music careers in Victoria. The program is presented and supported by VMDO First Peoples, City of Melbourne and Spotify and will focus on the release of recorded music, as part of an overall strategic approach to a career in contemporary music."
