The song “Bunggridj-bunggridj” from the Wangga tradition is a diverse and fascinating piece of music. It features a variety of elements like humming, instruments, and beats. Throughout the song, the singer, Alan, pauses, which I believe reflects the different emotions he’s experiencing. While exploring different pieces from Oceania, this one stood out as my favorite. I loved how unique it sounded, yet it still originates from Australia. I found this recording on YouTube, where it is part of a playlist of Australian music. What intrigued me the most was how this album resonates with the islands, the land, ancestors, and cultural beliefs.
