Kutcha Edwards - Circling Time - An Interview about the healing power of songwriting, ancestral connections and an Indigenous perspective of time.
In this week's episode I speak with songwriter, legend and proud Mutti Mutti man Kutcha Edwards
It was an incredible privilege to sit and listen to someone who not only has one of the finest voices of our generation, but who has been working to create spaces to support others with song and creativity. Kutcha uses music to create connections across cultures, generations, and spaces. With an innate ability to communicate, he uses his unique, diverse talents to nurture understanding and self-knowledge amongst all those with whom he has contact. Kutcha is a Songman, not simply a songwriter. He draws on a profound sense of all those who have gone before him on this land, along with his own life experiences, to help his audiences understand themselves, reconnect with their culture and promote cultural understanding.
In this conversation, recorded at the Aboriginal Advancement League on the National Day of Apology, Kutcha speaks about memory, time, song, spirit and supporting people in prison.
This conversation took me to a place outside of time. Uncle Kutcha’s deep wisdom that is present in his songwriting and performances permeates his storytelling and circles through time and space.
