Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The music of Australia ranges across a broad spectrum of styles and genres. Some modern trends in Australian music are based on, or concurrent with, similar trends from the United States or United Kingdom and elsewhere, and the music is generally influenced by cross pollination of music from other countries. Traditional indigenous Australian music, however is unique, as it dates back more than 60,000 years to the prehistory of Australia and continues the ancient songlines through contemporary artists as diverse as: Jimmy Little, Yothu Yindi, Christine Anu and Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. This book studies Australian music including the Death Wail, Down Under, Joan Carden, the Cold Chisel, and the You and I.
