New book — Recirculating Songs: Revitalising the singing practices of Indigenous Australia

Indigenous communities across Australia are currently experiencing a high level of renewed interest in their song traditions as the present generation of songmen and songwomen take on the responsibilities of their ancestors. Recirculating songs gives voice to these contemporary performers, and looks at the issues they face in learning and passing on their ancestral musical practices in the 21st century.
This book is the first of its kind to be devoted specifically to the strategies Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are adopting to keep their traditional music alive and strong. At the same time, it serves to introduce the wider public to Australia’s rich Indigenous musical heritage, through a series of case studies focused on particular communities or regions.
Contributors include Clint Bracknell, Reuben Brown, Genevieve Campbell, Rona Googninda Charles, Peter Cleary, Andrew Morumburri Dowding, Andrea Emberly, Nicholas Evans, Helen Fairweather, Jean Harkins, Luise Hercus, Ray Kelly, Grace Koch, Mary Laughren, David Manmurulu, Jenny Manmurulu, Philip Matthias, Barry McDonald, Cassy Nancarrow, Isabel O’Keeffe, Margaret Sharpe, Ruth Singer, Graeme Skinner, Sally Treloyn, Gemma Turner, Myfany Turpin, Jim Wafer and Toby Whaleboat.
