Deadly Nannas

Deadly Nannas (Nragi Muthar) is a musical group from Murray Bridge, South Australia, founded around 2016.

The group of singer-songwriters is composed primarily of Ngarrindjeri women (with two kringkri ma:dawar, or white sisters[1]), and performs as a vocal ensemble with a backing track.

The group was formed in 2017 with the goal of writing and performing songs in Ngarrindjeri for the preservation and promotion of that language and culture.

[2] The women have all have completed a tertiary course in learning an endangered Aboriginal language, which helps them to use a fusion of Ngarrindjeri and English.

[6] They have performed at a range of cultural events, including Mii Pudnanthi at the Adelaide Showground,[5] and travelled around Australia.
