Remember Those Ceremonies - Ceremony and Dance

There is a culture here. It’s not dead, it’s not gone, it’s very, very active. And we’re active - people are still here, you know, no matter what we’ve gone through. I reckon it’s spiritual - there’s a spiritual connection and it’s coming out through all artists.
