PROGRAM NOTES
In Australia’s colonial era, Australian music carried the fingerprints of the Irish population. One of the main currents known as “Australian bush music” inherited several elements seen in Irish music. In the other hand, Australian musicians gave to this “new Irish tradition”, Aboriginal walkabout themes, Aboriginal words and used Aboriginal instruments such as the didgeridoo. This work is inspired in this folkloric duality. This work is dedicated to Portuguese Army Jazz Orchestra.
