Their music is like socialising and welcoming others into community. This music is very traditional and ceremonial, this music is set back about 60 000 years ago. This music has still maintained to be the same as it is still a very warm song and dance.

Since then Australia's music has been offered a variety of different genres such as Folk, Country, Electronic Dance, R&B/ Hip-hop, Jazz, Hard rock, Metal, Acoustic and the most popular of them all, Pop.
