Xavier Rudd embodies the ethos of the 2 Worlds Festival (2WF) \u2013 a celebration of Indigenous and Western culture \u2013 and this Saturday he\u2019s arriving to Melbourne asking all Australians to do the same. <\/p>\n

The Australian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has spent more than two decades promoting unity and respect through his music, said the festival and the Marrma\u2019 Rom Two Worlds Foundation (MR2WF) it supports, played an important role in reconciling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis festival is important because celebrating our culture is one of the most important things we can do. Australians have been denied the opportunity to immerse themselves in our heritage, our Aboriginal heritage, which is part of our country \u2013 it\u2019s a huge part of all of us as Australians.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at New Zealand. Our only choice now as Australians, our responsibility as Australians, is to teach our kids, and this event is an opportunity to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relocating to Birrarung Marr on the banks of Melbourne\u2019s Yarra River, the festival (now in its third year) will showcase a variety of Indigenous and Western performers, art, traditional and not so traditional activities, Indigenous and modern multicultural food offerings. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn Australia there\u2019s all these blurred lines with bridging gaps around parts of Australia that were colonised. There\u2019s so much pain and shame with things that have gone on and it\u2019s a slow process to rebuild,\u201d Rudd said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting there but 2WF is a unique cause and foundation because Arnhem Land was never settled by the British, although alcohol has affected communities, the culture is still very strong. There are still full blood people, the language is still their first language.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2WF and MR2WF is a clean, fresh way to try a different approach in Western society.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival is a major fundraiser for the foundation\u2019s leadership program, which gives students from North East Arnhem Land educational opportunities in the Geelong and surrounding areas, empowering the next generation of young men and women to walk confidently in \u201ctwo worlds\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m all for the foundation, my little brothers were in a band at school with a kid from Arnhem Land who\u2019s playing at the festival. He came down as part of the program and really thrived; I saw that firsthand.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic has been connecting human beings and different cultures since the beginning of time. Next to childbirth it\u2019s probably the most natural thing we can do; it\u2019s an energetic part of all of us, it transcends race, culture, conditioning, scars \u2013 all the psychological stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rudd said the festival provided an excellent platform for Indigenous musicians, performers and artists to showcase their talent and culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be a lot of great Indigenous artists like the Black Rock Band; they\u2019re awesome. It will be an amazing day.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Torquay born musician said for the first time in as long as he can remember, he\u2019s not touring Europe and South America.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been home on the Sunshine Coast for a while now which has been nice. I\u2019ve done heaps of national and international touring since Storm Boy and this is the first year, in 20 years, I\u2019m not doing the overseas circuit which is trippy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be doing a lot of local gigs like the one in Melbourne, and a couple of benefits up here, including one for the koalas. I\u2019m going to do some recording, keep healthy and do a lot more locally which I haven\u2019t always been able to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pretty good at staying healthy on the road. You can either go two ways as a musician, there\u2019s almost no middle ground. You can go hard on the drugs and booze and burn out, or you can be fit and healthy and last long-term \u2013 unless of course you\u2019re Keith Richards.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as he readies to return to his family home of Victoria, he said it\u2019s not so much the state that feels like home, but the country itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t lived in Victoria for a long time, but I still feel very connected. There\u2019s a few spots around the coast especially or when I see mum and dad.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely love it up north, but it’s Australia in general. I\u2019m a big fan of our country, I\u2019ve always felt when I leave, I leave a part of me and I\u2019m always stoked to get home.\u201d<\/p>\n
