This article explores compositional practice among Yolŋu bands in North-East Arnhem Land through discussion of a popular song by Neparrŋa Gumbula entitled 'Djiliwirri.' Neparrŋa is a member of Soft Sands which was among the earliest popular bands formed in Arnhem Land when it was established at Galiwin'ku in 1970. Discussion of this song demonstrates how, through popular band repertoires, Yolŋu musicians employ traditional themes and musical materials to project their profound religious ties to ancestors and hereditary estates.
