Calling all cultures to country | Pete Byfield | TEDxPerth

Musician Pete Byfield explores how our custodianship of the Australian land has much to learn from over 60,000 years of continued experience. Yet, some may only pay attention to the most recent 230 years of history. In this talk, Pete performs his award-winning single "Hounds are Howling", a song that reflects much richness in lessons from our people on the land. Pete Byfield's musical origins began in his teens when the only music teacher in town taught his mates, who in turn taught him to play guitar. The teacher was a post-war immigrant, one of many who shaped Pete’s town, and him. Over the next 40 years, Pete played in cover bands across the Western Australian wheatbelt. In 2014 Pete began writing original music. His first recorded song, Wialki, was picked up by Western Australian Music’s Sounds of the Wheatbelt project. Encouraged, he wrote a further sixteen songs and released an album, "ONE". He won WA Country Music Awards' Album of the Year (2016) and was nominated for Male Artist of the Year (2016, 2017). He was also nominated for Country Song of the Year (2016) and for Best Regional Act (2017) at the WAM Awards. Pete continued recording singles and is working on a new album. He will be touring Australia from January to June 2019 on his Back to the Garden Tour at venues including farm gates, community gardens and bush tucker trails. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
