“MEN AT WORK”
.
(the music of australia has an extensive history made of ‘music societies’)
.
(‘indigenous australian music’ is a part of the unique heritage of a ‘40,000’ – ‘60,000’ year history which produced the iconic ‘didgeridoo’)
(contemporary fusions of ‘indigenous’ and ‘western’ styles (exemplified in the works of ”no fixed address’,’ yothu yindi’, ‘christine anu’, and ‘geoffrey gurrumul yunupingu’ mark distinctly “australian” contributions to ‘world music’)
(during its early western history, ‘australia’ was a collection of ‘british colonies’, and ‘australian folk music’ and ‘bush ballads’ such as ‘waltzing matilda’ were heavily influenced by ‘anglo-celtic’ traditions, while classical forms were derived from those of ‘europe’)
(contemporary australian music ranges across a broad spectrum with trends often concurrent with those of the ‘US’, the ‘UK’, and similar nations – notably in the ‘australian’ rock and ‘australian’ country music genres)
(tastes have diversified along with post-‘world war II’ multicultural immigration to ‘australia’)

(i’m n fan of ‘australian music’…)
(…or australians in general)

(ask sinatra about his foray into australia)
(the music somehow rings inauthentic)
(much like ‘latin music’)
(or most other music for that matter)
