National Geographic: Tommy Crow, Aboriginal Artist, Central Australia

Find more information about Aboriginal Art and Culture at http://australiasoutback.com

Renowned Aboriginal artist and musician, Tommy Crow depends on Australia's Outback to get him back to nature and revive his spirit. To go out bush around Alice Springs is to find the real Australia, he says. Listen as he talks openly about his connection with the desert, and with the culture and heritage of his people, with which the landscape is forever intertwined. The desert is imprinted with spiritual significance for the local Arrernte Aboriginal people and the landscape comes alive through their stories, music, dance and paintings.

@pawsnclaws100 The spirits have to want to speak to you. This is why people feel like they want to go into the desert and be with the sky and earth and play didgeridoo, they were called.
