Yothu Yindi (Yolngu for "child and mother") are an Australian band with Aboriginal and ''balanda'' (non-Aboriginal) members formed in 1986. Aboriginal members come from Yolngu homelands near Yirrkala on the Gove Peninsula in Northern Territory's Arnhem Land. The second single from ''Tribal Voice'' was "Djäpana (Sunset Dreaming)" which peaked at No. 13 in 1992. Chairman of the foundation is Galarrwuy Yunupingu, he is Mandawuy's older brother, a Yolgnu clan leader and sometimes a member of Yothu Yindi on ''bilma'' and guitar. Galarrwuy had been named Australian of the Year in 1978 for his work for Aboriginal communities and Mandawuy was Australian of the Year for 1992 for his work with Yothu Yindi. In October 2012 the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) announced that the band would be inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, as part of the ARIA Music Awards of 2012.
