In this guide, you’ll find a selection of articles, videos, and an exclusive series of 10 podcasts that I recorded with Grégory Zwingelstein, an expert (and friend) passionate about the culture of the Yolngu (one of the many Aboriginal Australian peoples). Together, we explored every aspect of the didgeridoo linked to the Yolngu people, from how it’s made to its role in spiritual traditions, as well as advanced playing techniques.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, you should find essential resources here to help you deepen your knowledge of the vast subject of Aboriginal Australian culture. Enjoy exploring!
