“el arte de los aborigenes australianos nace de la musica, porque la musica es, o fue y sigue siendo para los que sobreviven, esas pequenas comunidades invadidas y desarraigadas por los europeos, como el agua para los peces y el aire para las aves, su elemento natural, el medio ambiente fisico y espiritual que todo lo modela, orienta y organiza.”

Mario Vargas Llosa 2002
