Didgeridoo - Australian dreaming

next


Obviously, I could not come back from Australia with an original didgeridoo... I started to look for a didgeridoo in Sydney, but then I decided that it was better to look for it in the red center, where the aboriginal culture came from. I bought it in the "Sounds of Starlight Didgeridoo Theatre" of Alice Springs. Andrew Langford regularly gives ve ybasic lessons to learn how to manage the didgeridoo, and I understood the basics from him. Later, at home, I manage to learn the circular breathing: the first time you can handle it it's really a vey nice sensation.
The digeridoo is a very unique and "primordial" instrument. I wish I could learn some more complex rhytm and vocalization on it!
