In this brilliant and passionate book, Allan Marett reaches profound insights on Australian Aboriginal music through detailed analysis of the musical and linguistic features of many wangga songs, some of their accompanying dances, and the social and cosmological processes enacted through their performance. -- Anthony Seeger, Professor of Ethnomusicology, UCLA

an intelligent and detailed look at and attitude towards music and performance outside Western traditions that really does a magnificent job of making the subject clear...a scholarly book, but...fascinating. --Robert M. Tilendis, The Green Man Review
