Gondwanaland (band)

Gondwanaland, originally billed as Gondwanaland Project, are an Australian musical ensemble which combines traditional Australian instruments such as didgeridoo and bullroarer with western instruments such as synthesizer and guitar.

Among the first musicians to unite western and traditional music into the nascent genre of world music, the group was formed in 1981 by Charlie McMahon and Peter Carolan. The band continued to record until 1992, releasing five albums. A compilation, "Over Gondwanaland", was released in 2005.
