it can represent a wide variety of things. many native people use music for festivals and things like that just like modern music festivals but native music usually has a deeper meaning to it like a story or cultural belief. for example there were many native American Indian tribes that used music and dance to call for rain and good hunting. for example, if tribes of animals that the tribes depended on (like buffalo which only came around once a year) were late, they would often do sing songs and dance in hopes that the buffalo would come (I'm not sure if it was sung to a god or the buffalo were charmed or something). music is also very important to many aboriginal tribes in Australia even in modern times like today. music and dance is used in the transition for a boy to turn into a man like they would have to take part in this dance. I hope this helps :)
