Music is a vital and exciting part of desert life. Ranging from desert rock with its driving beats, to reggae and gospel the bands of the Tanami never fail to get audiences dancing and singing along. The PAW Media Music Studio has a constant flow of musicians coming and going to record a track for one of our compilation CDs or simply as a track for playing out on the PAW Radio Network.
