Biografia:
A banda Yothu Yindi, formada em 1986, utilizou na formação do seu nome um termo do povo aborígine Australiano Yolngu que significa "filho e mãe", essa expressão serve para descrever as relações entre os clãs aborígines da região australiana de Arnhem, de onde vem o grupo que era liderado pelo vocalista Mandawuy Yunupingu, que morreu em 2013.
Os membros da tribo Yolngu vivem no nordeste de Arnhem Land, no território do Norte. Alguns deles vivem em Yirrkala e outros vivem em agrupamentos familiares nas matas da região

Treaty by Yothu Yindi. From 1991's Tribal Voice.
Written by Paul Kelly, Mandawuy Yunupingu, Stuart Kellaway, Cal Williams, Gurrumul Yunupingu,
Milkayngu Mununggurr, Banula Marika and Peter Garrett.
The verses that are sung in Aboriginal are over an F# digeridoo drone,
but on guitar, you can play an F#5 or F#m.
Also, in the chorus, a rhythm guitar moves from an F#m to an F#m6.
You can also play the F#madd9 chord like it is in the intro during the first verse.
