Paul Stewart personifies the essence of rock ?n? roll ideology. Stewart is most famous for fronting iconic Australian rock band, Painters And Dockers, but his work in Dili Allstars has left a profound social and cultural impact on the lives of our less- fortunate neighbours in East Timor.
Stewart?s ties with East Timor were sewn when his brother, Tony, was one of five Australian journalists murdered by Indonesian forces in Balibo, East Timor, in 1975. ?I often say to people that ?you know, I lost one brother up there but I met Gil [Santos] and he?s my brother now?,? says Stewart of his Dili Allstars co-founder. ?And it?s been an honour for me to meet Gil.?
Formed in 1992, Dili Allstars are a funk/ska/reggae/rock collective comprising Australian and East Timorese musicians, who are committed to assisting the people of East Timor and other pertinent social causes. ?Rock ?n? roll is about rebellion and bucking the system,? Stewart expresses. ?We don?t play to make money or to be popular. We?re more like revolutionary fighters than rock ?n? roll musicians.?
Dili Allstars have held numerous benefits for single mothers, aids victims, war widows, disabled citizens and starving children, while Stewart met Santos at a Melbourne protest on the day that East Timor Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão was captured by Indonesian forces. ?I?d gone along to this rally and we were all at the front shouting abuse at the Indonesians for invading East Timor,? Stewart relates. ?Gil was there and we struck up a conversation; he told me he was a musician as well and said ?y?know, we should actually make some music together?, and it all kicked off from there.?
Since, more than 30 musicians have played with the band in their 18 year history. ?We describe the band as a bit like an aeroplane ? a lot of people have come on board for the journey, some got off, some got air-sick along the way, some have jumped out with a parachute,? Stewart chuckles. ?I?m the loud-mouth show-pony because I?m not |
