Variation Of Celtic Music?

[greenldydragon]

Since Australia was a penal colony of the British after it was first discovered, wouldn't the new inhabitants become integrated with the original inhabitants? And then after it was changed from a penal colony to a regular colony (I think that happened ) the newcomers would integrate with the other mixed in group. Then, I was thinking about some of the different variations of Celtic music, and is there a variation of Celtic music mixed with that of the aboriginal's music?

until recently the Aborginal Music and Celtic music has stayed seperate, there were some interracial marriages but it was very few. There was alot of segragation and still is.

That isn't good. Segregation shouldn't happen anywhere.

I know of no links between celtic cultures and the aboriginies of Australia apart from the irish and scots who came here as convicts.

many Irish Scot's and aboriginal marriages took place as they all had one thing in common , being oppressed by the English Empire today most aboriginal families have people with green eyes and it is a beautifull genetic blend. Australian bush music has a celtic base with a definate rebelious flair, many fine songs were written about brave bush rangers.

Celtic and indeginous culture does have similarites in story telling and mythology but both modern cultures were being so harshly brutalized that it didn't have a chance to develope
Unfortunatly today segrigation and misunderstanding of indeginous culture are the norm.
