| Publisher Description: With contributions from leading writers, performers, broadcasters, promoters, and academics, this unique account explores the development and the many guises of music in Australia. Discussing music from all over the world--from the compelling tug of Balkan music and dynamic Latin rhythms to the quick tempo percussion of reggae and eclectic Indigenous sounds--this multifaceted reference highlights remarkable artists and features, on a companion CD, the sounds of contemporary cross-cultural fusions and of the vibrant Australian festival scene. |
