The songs can be used for love magic and healing, and
belong to women of the Warumungu language group. This is the first
commercially-available
recording entirely devoted to Central Australian-style women's music
(yawulyu).
The songs, performed outdoors by a small group of women performing a
cappella,
tell of the mungamunga, Dreaming women who roam around Tennant
Creek.
A 16-page booklet explains the background, including how the songs were
created and recorded, with texts and explanations for each of the 23
songs
included on the recording. |
