The way an artists performs their work influences how the listener, listens.  The live version of “Come-n-Dance” by Blekbala Mujik is a great example. The song mixes  Reggae, Rock, Traditional and World genres to create something truely unique using clapsticks and didgeridoo together with Western instruments. The lead singer and band founder Peter Miller asks the audience to sing and dance along. You can sense a feeling of community and togetherness in this footage form 1995 in Arnhem land. I hope we see a resurgence in this type of music because it is truely unique.
