Australian
Kaleidoscope
Aubrey and Martin Beggs are from Long Jetty, New South
Wales, Australia. Ngalan represents his people from the
Worimi Nation through Aboriginal dance, music, and
storytelling. The
Beggs Bros Band perform all over the world doing
Their Cooee Australia Show. They came to Bartlesville with
The Cultural
Kaleidoscope program and did a show for our first
graders. Aubrey, Ngalan, and Martin pose in front of the
Aboriginal Flag of Australia. Ngalan tells a warrior story from his people through a
"warrior dance". Aubrey telling a good yarn and singing a song. We learn
about Captain Cook and the first European settlers. We love
the song "Botany Bay". We love to hear the didgeridoo, and the stories it can
tell. It has been said, "If the earth had a voice, it would
be the didgeridoo." Martin says g'day. The G"Day Song is one of our
favorites. Ngalan is a hunter with a "killer stick" in a song called
"Sun Arise".
