30、olngu language. Though he is like other native Australians, his music is considered as world music in a way. However, the music of other Australian singers such as Paul Kelly or Courtney Barnett isnt. Michael Hohnen, a famous Australian singer, told Guardian Australia that he feels uneasy about the
