Paper long abstract:

In the small Lutheran churches of Central Australia, a hidden musical legacy of ancient Aboriginal languages, sacred poetry and baroque music is being preserved by four generations of song women who make up the Central Australian Aboriginal Women's Choir. Against all odds and with the help of their charismatic conductor, the choir embarks on a historic tour of Germany to take back the hymns that were given to their great grandparents by missionaries, now sung in their own languages. Together they share their music and stories of cultural survival, identity and cross-cultural collaboration.
