As we all know, Music is
the most direct way to share different accents or dialects people have. Due to
that, we are going to show you several Australian bands or singers in order to
hear their accent in different songs. The very first band is, in my opinion,
the most famous and global band Australia has; they are AC/DC.
This is a curious
anecdote of the name of the band:
Malcolm and Angus Young developed the idea for the
band's name after their sister, Margaret Young, saw the initials "AC/DC" on a sewing machine. "AC/DC" is
an abbreviation meaning "alternating current/direct
current" electricity. The brothers felt that this name
symbolised the band's raw energy, power-driven performances of their music.
"AC/DC" is pronounced one letter at a time,
though the band are colloquially known as "Acca
Dacca" in Australia slang.
I leave you here a video of a concert of them in the Olympic Stadium of "La Cartuja" Seville, (Spain) , the city where we live.

Hi! Congratulations for the post :)
ReplyDeleteI think everybody know something about AC/DC, and certainly this song is their masterpiece. I would recommend you another group called 'Eskimo Joe' which is an Australian alternative rock band and you'd probably hear about. I hope you enjoy them as well.
