N2  - "Torres Strait Islander women perform a diverse range of musical styles across Australia. Many of these performers are known within their own communities, yet they strive for greater recognition in the wider Australian community. Through conversations with Torres Strait Islander women performers and music industry representatives, this report documents a collaborative research project with Torres Strait Islander women who perform in contemporary music contexts."--Back cover
