Spanning 50,000 years, Australia's Aboriginal culture is the oldest intact civilization on the planet, and its vast sense of history pervades the music in this powerful collection. This "Rough Guide" samples the wide diversity -- from country through folk to rock -- of the music that has been used to explore important issues ranging from land rights and the "stolen generations" to colonial dispossession and racism. Artists include Ruby Hunter, Archie Roach, Gapu, Waak Waak Jungi, and field recordings from Arnhem Land.
