Day 28 ~ Australia (dijeridoo)



A hollowed out piece of wood that seems to be able to permeate every cell of the body and shake the world.  No bows, no holes, nothing to push or fret - seems easy to play, right?!  Well, only if you can CIRCULAR BREATHE; which takes some serious dedication to get the hang of.  Hats off to you dijeridoo players!

The most common actually used word for dijeridoo, by native Aborigines, is YIDAKI.  
This instrument is very popular around the world, and there are players everywhere (even in Chungju sometimes), here is a video/sample played by Ryka Ali.  

This 40-day Virtual World Tour of Music correlates with the World Music House kickstarter crowdfund. (Click the orange words for more details!)
