Aboriginal artist Dewayne Everettsmith records palawa kani album with Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra

As Dewayne Everettsmith held his firstborn child in 2010, the Palawa man had a burning wish.

“I was sitting there at 3 o’clock in the morning, and he was crying and I looked at him, and I wished in that moment I could sing to him in language,” he recalls.

It was a desire he couldn’t fulfil.
