Aboriginal dancing from North Queensland

 Next

After a song by women beating snake-skin drums, boys from Djarragun College, a school for indigenous students near Cairns, Far North Queensland, perform the traditional “Kab Kar” dances from Murray Island in the Torres Strait depicting daily life in the islands: Peba weli (a song about a bird) and Marrka Ipi (Tag tag), spirit dance. They dance in pairs, wearing the feather “dhari” headdress.
