‘We have survived’
This chapter focuses on the recordings of one Aboriginal rock group – Wirrinyga Band, from Milingimbi in the extreme north of the Australian continent – as a means of opening windows into the world of Aboriginal popular music and its role as commentator on the survival, maintenance and perpetuation of Aboriginal cultures. The Aboriginal members of Wirrinyga Band refer to themselves as Yolngu, speakers of languages of the Yolngu language block tha…
Site as Song - Song as Site
Peter Dunbar-Hall's article on the Warumpi Band contributes to the growing body of work into Aboriginal rock music and relates its study to recent debates within the field of cultural geography, with regard to the nature of place and space and their relation to cultural product. In an important musical adoption of these concepts, Dunbar-Hall weaves together traditional Aboriginal thought and custom with western musicology and theory, producing a …

Arnhem Land on the Agenda in Recent Texts on Australian Indigenous Music and Dance
Aboriginal music and musicians from different parts of Arnhem Land are the topics of three new texts, adding to the refocusing of research on that area through the recent publication of Allan Marett's award-winning Songs, Dreamings, and Ghosts: The Wangga of North Australia (Wesleyan University Press, 2005). These three new texts, Elizabeth Mackinlay's Disturbances and Dislocations, Fiona Magowan's Melodies of Mourning and Jill Stubington's Singi…
Intercultural music
Intercultural Music: Creation and Interpretation is a collection of refereed papers from the conference component of the 2006 Aurora New Music Festival, held at the University of Western Sydney. The editors are keen to point out that the definition of ‚intercultural‘ invoked is wide and that the collection presents some awkwardnesses. This is notably in discussion of the problems associated with representing musical creativity and performance as …
Apa Salah Baliku? ” (“What Did My Bali Do Wrong?”)
The bombing of tourist venues in Bali on the night of 12 October 2002 produced many reactions. Various reasons for the bombings were proposed, and, in Balinese performing arts, the bombings became the impetus for a range of works. In many of these works, Balinese performers put the position that reasons for the bombings were in some way attributable to the Balinese themselves—that because of high levels of tourism and neglect of religious practic…

Unheard music
The idea that music might be unheard is an odd one. Yet three new studies of Indonesian music present different ways that music either remains unheard to some of its listeners or is heard in ways outside enculturated listening habits. This reinforces recent research emphasizing that music cognition is culture-dependent, contributing to an area of ethnomusicology that is being increasingly discussed

Tradisi and Turisme
This article investigates relationships between music and place through analysis of performances for tourists at a prominent site, Puri Saren Agung (the Ubud Palace) in the Balinese village of Ubud. These performances are representative of ways in which Balinese traditional cultural representation is transformed when it is packaged for tourist consumption. Through a number of readings of the palace, potential meanings for music are shown to be de…
Historical and Dialectical Perspectives on the Teaching of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Musics in the Australian Education System
Indigenous studies (also referred to as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander studies) has a double identity in the Australian education system, consisting of the education of Indigenous students and education of all students about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories. Through explanations of the history of the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musics in Australian music education, this article critiques w…
Culture, Tourism and Cultural Tourism
Cultural tourism in Bali is analysed here through two music and dance events designed for tourists, and a Balinese Hindu temple festival. While all three cases allow tourists to hear and see performances constructed from the sounds and images of Balinese performing arts, at the same time they provide demonstrations of cultural matrices which necessarily remain unrecognised by tourists. Through the situation of entry to or restriction from knowled…
The Contexts of Indigenous Music Activity in the Kimberley
In response to documented problems in the teaching of Australian Indigenous music in schools, this paper proposes the use of the contexts of music as the bases of pedagogic models. In relation to Indigenous music activity in the Kimberley region of north-west Australia, four contexts are explained and their potential to provide ways of studying Indigenous music is explored: Kimberley Indigenous music in relation to national Aboriginal music music…

Yothu Yindi's 'Treaty
In north-east Arnhem Land languages, ganma is a word used to describe the place where the fresh water from a river meets the salt water of the sea. For the Yolngu, fresh water and salt water are significant opposites, and the turbulence and fertile potency of their meeting place is a powerful metaphor. The term is used in the Yirrkala community, especially in the school, to refer to the modern attempts to educate Yolngu children in 'both ways', t…
