Everyday Brave: Saltwater Bluesman - Uncle Kiddo Taylor

Uncle Kiddo is one of the fathers of the ‘Broome Sound’ and a vital and positive force in the lives of younger generations. His music reflects Broome’s unique cultural mix of Aboriginal, Japanese, Malay, Filipino, Indonesian, Chinese and European influences.

EVERYDAY BRAVE profiles First Nations Australians who have fought daily battles against discrimination, apathy and ignorance to make a real difference. They come from across the country – bush and city – and are often largely unknown outside their communities. Their achievements are spread across the arts, commerce, education, health and politics but all these people are defined by their unwavering commitment to the promotion of First Nations rights, culture and identity. Their stories tell of lives marked by struggles and hardship but lightened by joy and humour.
