Yothu Yindi was formed in 1986 in Arnhem Land, Australia, by a group of Indigenous musicians led by lead singer Mandawuy Yunupingu, who was a member of the Yolŋu people. The band aimed to blend traditional Indigenous music with contemporary rock and pop influences, raising awareness of Indigenous issues through their lyrics. Their name reflects the Yolŋu people's connection to the land, translating to "child and mother" in the Yolŋu Matha language, symbolizing the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Yothu Yindi gained international recognition with hits like "Treaty," advocating for reconciliation and Indigenous rights.

In "Treaty" by Yothu Yindi, the bass guitar plays a crucial role in establishing the song's rhythmic foundation. It features a prominent, steady groove that complements the blend of traditional Indigenous elements and contemporary music styles. The bass lines are often rhythmic and melodic, driving the song forward while supporting the vocal harmonies and other instrumental layers. This interplay enhances the song's overall impact, making it both danceable and deeply resonant with its themes of reconciliation and identity.
