    Ochres is a magnificent dance work, which skilfully combines the traditional Indigenous Aboriginal Australian movements and the modern contemporary movements from today’s society. Collaboratively choreographed by Stephen Page, Bernadette Walong and Djakapurra a member of the Yirrkala tribe, Ochres premiered in Sydney, 1995 by the Bangarra Dance Theatre. The performance represents the cultural and spiritual significance linked to ochre within the Aboriginal people. The unique interpretation of the Aboriginal culture often leaves the audience expressionless due to its uncloying nature. Throughout Ochres many politico- cultural points were subtly interwoven into the depicted Indigenous story however; it was created so to take its audience on different cultural journeys. Therefore, each individual won’t emotionally understand the politico-cultural points, based on how they interpret the movements. The fusion of traditional and modern movements, both Aboriginal and contemporary are carried through the Prologue and all four sections of the performance; Yellow, Black, Red and White, these four sections are the four main colours of the Indigenous culture.…

    Known for various villancicos, one of Fernandes most popular works is “Xicochi conetzintle”. The song itself barely reaches one minute in length and takes the form of a lullaby in a way, with its lyrics talking about a child falling into a peaceful sleep. Fernandes original wrote the piece in Náhuatl, also known as the language of Aztecs and Native Americans who resided in New Spain. One interesting thing I learned about this piece has to do with its translation. Before the text “Caomiz huihui joco in angelos me” (Fernandes) was translated to “The angels already rocked you”, other had different interpretations of the meaning. Contemporary author David Leedom Shaul wrote that some suggestions for the translated line were, “"Cry no more, for angel are here," and "surely angels will carry you on your…

    In 1979, The Knack performed one of their hit singles “My Sharona” in front of a packed house. This song represented the alternative/pop rock genre, and was considered a major hit in the late 1970s. As a child, I remember hearing the song on the radio and I enjoyed the catchy and memorable tune.
