31 May 2010A joint research project of the Australia Council for the Arts and the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), which shows that attitudes, physical distance, training and education are among the significant barriers that prevent Indigenous artists from reaching wider audiences.

As the first research project of its kind, Song Cycles suggests ways to combat the challenges of training, playing live, recording, airplay, distribution and touring faced by Indigenous musicians.
