Loved this video! And these beautiful people. The didge and singing sounded great! Very cool dancing too

[@carmelitarojas2868]

Nice, so, it’s a musical instrument in its most natural form with really nice sound…

Beautiful culture, love from the Native American community ✌️

Thanks for sharing. That was special.

Thank you, Steven! Yes, we are looking forward to doing this more often so our young men become experts at yidaki-making.

Thanks for sharing this, I just wish I could understand what he was saying, especially while making the finishing touches to the yidaki. I'm a yidaki player and soecialise in traditional playing. I'm lucky enough to have a stick from north arnhem land, made by D. Gurruwiwi, it really is an honor for me to be able to play and share in a tiny way with this rich and vast culture.

During the finishing touches, the Elder was sharing how the yidaki and bilma (clapsticks) are essential as they grow into manhood. He talked of how fights and disagreements could be settled with the yidaki and bilma - through the singing of songlines that clarify relationships. He talked of how the young men have a lot more to learn and how the yidaki is part of that, the same way that for young women, collecting pandanus and weaving is part of their growing up.

Do you happen to know the tree used to make this? Such a knowledgeable culture!

Few of more than 300 species of Eucalyptus of Australia.

TikTok has nerfed my videos, they think my yidaki is a pipe for smoking! That’s bull shit!
