Taking her name from the Barkindji word for the Darling River, Barkaa’s identity is rooted in family and community. Celebrated by GQ as ‘the new matriarch of Australian rap’, the political potency of Barkaa’s lyrics sees her exploring the richness of her culture and the issues impacting First Nations people, using music as a vehicle for empowerment and healing.
