The Indigenous sister duo Ngaratya's name means "together" and the acoustic folk-punk pair from Australia feels strongly about sharing their message with youth - a message to stay in school, respect yourself and have fun.

Ngaratya was recently featured with an interview and performance on Living Black's music series.

This clip leads with a mention of Deadly Award winners - surely the best named awards ever. The "Deadlys" recognize and showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island excellence.
