The Anngalbiya (Toothless Catfish) songline and story, with amazing singing and dancing featuring songman Jambalmurru Nunggarrgalu. This will give you insight into how totems, country and songlines work together. The Anngalbiya is a little fish, but is an important totem for the Nunggarrgalu clan from Waldharr and the Miningirri people from Rharrawawa. They both sing the Anngalbiya songs in Wubuy language, even though the Miningirri’s language is Ritharrngu. The Anngalbiya have beautiful old Wubuy names that the dancers call. This Anngalbiya totem also mixes into the Mardayin Ceremony Mardag songline.
