With the 1991 release of their second album, Tribal
Voice , Yothu Yindi secured their place in the annals of
Australian rock history.
Tribal Voice, which dominated the
national charts for much of 1991-1992, yielded the hit singles
Treaty and Djapana, won the band recognition as the first predominantly
Aboriginal act to gain widespread media attention, and generated
international recording and touring commitments. The album featured the band's first hit single, Treaty, which
crashed into the Australian Top Twenty and spent 22 weeks in the
national charts. The first song by a predominantly Aboriginal
band to chart in Australia, it was also the first song in an Aboriginal
language (Gumatj) to gain extensive airplay and international
recognition.
Billboard reported, ..."Yothu Yindi is the flagship of the Australian
musical movement"
