15 Canoes is a music preservation project which aims to record in high quality digital as many as possible of the traditional Ganalbingu songs as remain. There is a fear among the older Ganalbingu people that these songs will otherwise be lost, as the current younger generation aren't learning them.

A number of songs by Ganalbingu songman Bobby Bunungurr (accompanied on didgeridoo by Peter Minygululu) have so far been recorded. More sessions with Bobby are planned, as are sessions with other Ganalbingu songmen such as George Bambuna.
