A thoroughbred Dhalinybuy yidaki: a feverish firecracker, direct and raw. A fitting memorial for its maker, who is unfortunately no longer amongst us. The terrific balance and easy toot at an ideal interval predestine this instrument for fast yidaki techniques. Good players like Mikey Gurruwiwi (just 12 years old at the time when our videoclip was recorded) won't be able to resist putting this stick through its paces and letting rip - but it's got a lot more to offer than pure speed - there's much too much pure Arnhem Land character in it for that. An instrument that offers pure enduring playing pleasure This instrument and other fine traditional didjeridus are available from www.serioussticks.com

Mandapul is now the word used in eastern Arnhem Land for didgeridoo following the recent passing of a senior Manggalili man whose name bore a resemblance to the old word for didgeridoo. Here, Rrimitja demonstrates mandapul and also gives an introduction to himself and some biographical notes in Yolngu Matha.

Rrimitja is a 16 year old teen who is learning his Wangurri clan songs (pretty early to know that stuff compared to most kids his age) and is competent on the yidaki as well. In comparison, Mikey is 13 years old and is focussed intently on yidaki - a very young career yidaki craftsman and player who has the potential to become the King of Yidaki in years to come.
