Didgeridoo Meets Orchestra

William Barton using a CrookedStixz and a Bruce Rogers Didgeridoo at the Sydney Opera House with the Australian Youth Orchestra in a piece composed by Peter Sculthorpe. To see didgeridoos from these two fine craftsmen visit www.spiritgallery.com.au/didge...
Both didges went on tour to Europe with William and the AYO. Footage courtesy of the Australian Youth Orchestra.

Not really, if you practise a little. As a didge player, I say that there's quite few to learn to just play- like this dude there. But if you want to become a master, that's mission impossible :D There are no masters. There are so many different ways to play didge. Noone can't learn everything. You can always learn something new. We, didgeridoo players, are all students until death, there are no masters :D

The didgeridoo is pretty hard to learn. Most people who are good at playing the didgeridoo have a talent called circular breathing and not everyone can do it. Try breathing in through your nose as you breath out from your mouth.

Aborigines came from Africa thousands of years ago, so it's not surprising you might feel a cultural connection.

[@biancat7761]

@@anari234 Not exactly, though Aboriginals definitely have African ancestors from long ago (65,000 BC). Here is the difference. When the Africans left Africa and went to Arabia and the Middle East, they there absorbed a numerous Neanderthal people and became genetically different from the Africans who stayed behind. Australoids are the descendants of the very first Out of Africa people, and all non-Africans have genetic Neanderthal heritage that is not found in Africans. Although Australoids look very similar to Africans, their hair is wavier and sometimes colored. Native Australians also have among the highest levels of Denisovan heritage on earth. Since both the Asian and European races come from the Australoid race, the Australoids can be said to be closer to the Africans. But the separation took place in 65,000 BC. And since they did absorb other forms of mankind that the Africans did not, the Australoids can be said to be a different race from the Africans. But I understand what he's feeling. I travelled to south Africa and I felt at home. (I'm Australian) we are like long lost cousins
