The return of A Taste of Broome promises to be a "​​transfer of musical history" and nod back to icons of Yawuru country from father to daughter - famous names in their own right.

On Friday, Goolarri Amphitheatre plays host to night of song, dance, food and performance with a deep connection to the area, a much-loved tradition and history.

In 2013, local musical legend Stephen Pigram brought A Taste of Broome to the stage.

Now in its 12th year, his daughter, singer-songwriter and multi-disciplinary performing artist Naomi Pigram, with the Black Swan State Theatre Company, assures the event will do exactly as it says on the tin.

Naomi and her brother Bart are artistic and musical director respectively for the night.

"You're going to get a taste of Broome from a Broome kid who grew up in the 80s and 90s," Ms Pigram told National Indigenous Times.

"My dad created the show back in 2013…and what he did was took us back in time through screen and music, and it's the same formula (in 2024)."

Along with her dad's band - The Pirgram Brothers, a previous generation of home-grown bands musicians - like the Cox family and Kuckles, and songs remain legends in the Kimberley.

Ms Pigram said for those like herself growing up in the 80s and 90s "they were the giants of original music".

"We grew up in a time where original music was really, really colourful and proud and strong in Broome," she said.

"It's up to my generation to tell that story, and I don't believe it's been told yet. I don't believe that those giants have been honoured in terms of the arts and music from here."

The line-up consists of current local talent such as Nelson Baker and Tehya Makani, with the Cox family represented in David on bass and Raphael "Womp" Hunter on guitar.

The Pigram's contingency extends to Chase and Emma Sibosado.

"It's got the old broom classics that you don't really hear anymore unless you bought the tape or CD back in the day, and then we carry on through for some original music by myself and my brother," Ms Pirgram said.

"(For emerging artists) it's really exciting to bring them along. It's like that transfer of musical history…passed down from dad to me and my generation, and now from me to the next."

As well as acknowledging local history in music, messages expressed and "honor their generation for the impact and the pride and the identity that they instilled in my generation", Ms Pirgram promises to put her own flavour onto A Taste of Broome.

"We're really strong believers in truth-telling and authenticity. Music is a really powerful vehicle for getting a message across and also for getting through some hard times," she said

"Through the music and my original songs, is the hope of bringing back some of the teachings of our grandmothers to get us through that.

"There's this dream, if you like, or through these songs, this wanting to get those lessons from those old people back and bringing them forward into today so younger people can kind of learn from them.

'It's so important, you know, for us to be able to carry on this legacy that my dad has laid for us."

A Taste of Broome's gates open on on Friday 16 August from 5:30pm at the Goolarri Amphitheatre.
