As an ethnography of Central Australian singing traditions and ceremonial
contexts, this book asks questions about the vitality of the cultural knowledge
and practices highly valued by Warlpiri people and fundamental to their cultural
heritage. Set against a discussion of the contemporary vitality of Aboriginal
musical traditions in Australia and embedded in the historical background of
this region, the book lays out the features of Warlpiri songs and ceremonies,
and centers on a focal case study of the Warlpiri Kurdiji ceremony to illustrate
the modes in which core cultural themes are being passed on through song to
future generations.
