Aboriginal music not usually written down/notated or association with authorship. Importance of collaboration, in this society we put a lot of emphasis on individual creation. Lots of this music is made possible with digital technology major record labels will usually shun this. Preservation of settler nationalism is dependent on aboriginal absence (challenging this) Making these elements popular, dismantles lots of the colonial tainting over the years, resisting full-scale assimilation. Mashups of pre-existing movies to represent them the way they choose to, reclaiming power away from those who once controlled their image.
