Amid their hectic schedule, Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh and the delegation accompanying him today attended a tribal cultural programme held in Cranes, Queensland. They met tribal folk artists and enjoyed the performance of tribal artists as they played melodious musical instrument Dijridu. Dr Singh said that this programme has given him an opportunity to closely understand Australian tribal people. This programme has reminded me of the folk festivals of Chhattisgarh. The Australian folk culture seemed quite similar to folk culture of Chhattisgarh.
