The
Yolngu (indigenous people of Northeast Arnhem Land, Australia) call
the didgeridoo "yidaki". Their ngänarr-däl,
or "hard tongue", style has been called the hardest didge
playing to learn. On this CD, ceremonial player Milkay Mununggurr
distills yidaki playing to the basics. Spoken and written instructions
accompany the exercises, along with professional illustrations showing
tongue position and movement for each rhythm. The rhythms are recorded
at various speeds, with both the sound of the yidaki and the breathing
audible. If you play didgeridoo and have struggled to learn the
Yolngu yidaki playing style, this is the primer you need. Play along!
