Aboriginal Dance - Gulpilil, Blanasi

Australia's Aboriginal people have no written language. The legends and the stories of their past have been kept alive in song and dance. This video contains two films that provide a beautiful and valuable record of Australian Aboriginal dance. Three Dances by Gulpilil, filmed in 1978 at Bamyili, features dances by one of the best-known exponents of Australian Aboriginal dance, David Gulpilil, accompanied by David Blanasi on the didgeridoo . Five Aboriginal Dances from Cape York, filmed in 1966, is a record of Aboriginal dancing at the Aurukun Mission Station in far north Queensland. Note that there is no didgeridoo in the Cape York dances. Format: VHS PAL, VHS NTSC Length: 2 x 8 minutes This video is available for AUD$43.85 including postage to anywhere in the world.
