there is a track from jamiroquai called "Journey to arnhemland" remembering this place! (sorrry for my english)

[@AvaDub]

Well done Marimanuk!! I didn't realise you played so well! @grimpus - no, lots of triplets in the traditional music it seems - 4/4 is african/western based, remember these guys have a looong music history and hopefully its richness will continue despite colonialist Australia. @sonofthedestroyer- western versions of spirituality, especially the new age kind are on their own vibration and very new, this traditional style of playing is very old and more than just spiritual. The concept of Dreaming and Dreamtime was actually a misinterpretation by a white governor and probably based on a wrongful translation of Law (cultural and judicial) into Lore (fables/stories). So in fact Dreaming is a bit removed from the actual holistic Law which Aboriginal Australians have lived by for thousands of years. This aboriginal Law incorporates customs and traditions, creation stories, justice, trade agreements and land rights. The songs they play are in songlines and describe their clans' associations to the land, flora and fauna and work in with their art as a holistic declaration of borders, land rights, responsibilities and sacred duties. There is still a massive clash between the colonial attitudes and traditional aboriginal life and at the heart of it is the colonial arrogance that fails to recognise the traditional Law which, as hinted, included its own economic trade structures and also disciplinary systems. What would be most spiritual in this case is westerners discontinuing their racial discrimination and letting others live as they choose on their own land. That would be the beginning of harmony, at the moment there is still a long way to go as far as I'm concerned. If we can acknowledge this yidaki playing for what it is and not try and impose our standards or western judgements then we will be offering the respect it deserves.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Very, very cool! :) Love the shades, too.

[@mcclure52]

Awesome playing... love the rich sound. I have a question, many european women are playing yirdaki and some say Djalu says it is ok. Is that true? or are they just thinking that? Do women have didge classes at garma fest?

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

wow those sticks sound awesome!

[@xabichoo]

[@EnyIfetra]

[@adillman]

[@MrRay2008]

My son Mika is 3 weeks now (a half Dutchman born in Austria), will have to wait about 3 years, then we will both come to Arnhemland, me for a wounderful course like this and to marvel at all things aboriginal, Mika & his mother to sleep warmer :-)

[@thenaturechannel1420]

[@ThePurpleHarpoon]

[@captaintanuki]

Great to see the Japanese (and French guys) there. Maybe someone can make a nice hybrid of Yolngu yirdaki and traditional Japanese music. But also we should see more non-indigenous Australians learning this amazing instrument.

[@EnyIfetra]

oh ok thank you for the reply =)

[@tobalcainalhambra]

yo man,cool sunglasses, yo man

[@Dracopol]

You may want to correct the title a bit. You give someone "tutorials" but you CHARGE "tuition" (money) for it.

[@Karnash_energy]
