Chooky Dancers – Yolngu dances Zorba the Greek

Australia’s indigenous culture is the worlds oldest continuous culture. Perhaps 60 000 years old.
Culture changes. These young Yolngu dancers have had over a million hits on their original you tube video and as a result have appeared on tv and around Australia.

Take a look at these young Yolngu men as they mix traditional dance steps to Zorba the Greek and more. Most are filmed in the community of Yirrkala with the local community as the audience. Turn up the volume and laugh and enjoy with the community. if this is not good for one’s health nothing is.

Zorba the Greek is on twice, purely because their performance has improved so much the second time around. enjoy the didgeridoo on the last video. Take a look at the website The Mulka Project and the YouTube profile
