Magic Sounds Produced by Blowing through a Log.

Traditional. Contemporary. Inconsequential.

There are different schools of didgeridoo. The most global destinction I know is the traditional and the contempory way of playing.

Traditional Playing is coming from aboriginal tradition and is very much based on the about 300 languages spoken by the individual tribes – there are about 500 tribes today. Their langugages differ from each other and contain sounds, we do not know in european languages. For example retro-flex “ng”-sound traditional player use for breathing. One way to incorporate these sounds is learning an aboriginal language. Anther way is to try to copy the sounds. Difficult enough.
On the other hand contemporary players do not sound alike ether. Just compare Zalem and Yoon…

In the end, I think both profit from integrating the techniques of each other.

I was always surpriced by the openess and accessebility even the (from my perspective) most professional and known artist show. Usually you find them refering to each other. A peaceful community. “Beef” you just find from time to time.
