Aboriginal Roots

Aboriginal Roots (n.) [æbəˈrɪdʒən(ə)l ruts]: Aboriginal refers to any of the original inhabitants of the world. In reference to the Australian continent the aboriginal descriptor often contributed to the indigenous people of Australia and the Torres Straight Islands. The indigenous people of the Australian continent span over 400 tribes and hundreds of distinct languages. Through thousands of years of cultural practices, rituals, threats of destruction of lifestyles and people during the colonization period, and the intertwining of modern influences help keep Aboriginal Australian music alive and well in the music industry.
