Anyone interested in music from Australia will find plenty of successful musicians....
Flag Australia

Australia has already produced a lot of famous artists. Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, AC/DC, Sia, INXS, Natalie Imbruglia, Midnight Oil & Men at Work and many more.

Together with French megastar David Guetta, Sia had a brutal success with the song Titanium in 2011. Sia was born in Adelaide in 1975 and was initially a singer in the group "Crisp", then moved to London to live with her boyfriend, who died in a car accident in the same year, whereupon she moved back and processed this experience in her album "Healing is Difficult". Her absolute top hits are Chandelier and Cheap Tricks.

Yothu Yindi is an Australian band that was founded in 1986 by singer and songwriter Mandawuy Yunupingu and in which the indigenous people of Australia, the Aborigines, a collective term for various indigenous peoples of Australia who inhabited Australia before its discovery by so-called modern civilization, took part. When I was in Australia in 1994, the record Tribal Voice was still current and one of the songs that brought the didgeridoo and modern pop together was Treaty, which was then re-released several times by the band.

With the song "It's a long way to the top", AC/DC have contributed a symbol for a World Cup tournament, which is why the song should not be missing here.
