Indigenous Australian Music

The Indigenous Australian instrument, the didgeridoo, is an Australian emblem worldwide and plays a significant part in traditional northern Australian indigenous music. The specific instruments and style varies between tribes across the vast continent.

As time goes by, indigenous musical traditions are beginning to be used in the mainstream and European music is having an influence on indigenous music. The sound of a didgeridoo is familiar in the Australian mainstream. Some indigenous Australian groups include Yothu Yindi and the Warumpi Band, and each year indigenous Australian music (among other things) is celebrated by the awards event the Deadlys.
