(Wise!) advice for those who’d like to meet Aboriginal Australians (10/10)

Gauthier Aubé 1 min read

This episode is in French. My podcast is only available in French for now.

Here we are at the last episode of this series of 10 podcasts on Aboriginal Australian culture, co-produced with Grégory Zwingelstein (didgeridoo-passion.com). For this final installment, what could be more logical than sharing Greg’s precious advice for going to meet Aboriginal Australians! Throughout the episode, Greg tells us about his experiences (and mistakes!) so that you don’t make the same ones… Because you don’t just wing it in the middle of the Australian Bush! Safe travels, everyone!

We mentioned Sylvie in the podcast, and before publishing it, we asked for her permission. She was completely fine with it, but did correct the mistake we made. Here is her reply from Messenger, which I’m pasting here:

“Great Gauthier, thanks for taking the time. So the truth is that I didn’t go to prison. I was arrested by a police officer who locked me up in an old school for my own safety. It’s not the same thing as a traditional prison, even if I felt like I was in prison. There, now you know everything. It’s up to you whether you cut it or not. But keep the info that it’s possible for a woman on her own to go to Arhnem Land in complete safety. Thanks for your kindness. Big hugs, Sylvie.”

    Hey, thanks for sharing all this knowledge, I think it also answers plenty of questions and healthy curiosity. There’s real interest in this magnificent instrument and the culture it comes from. My wife passed her ceramics diploma by presenting her didgeridoo, she was able to share some of what you taught us and it fascinated people, they couldn’t help but blow into it during the deliberations…thanks again and keep it up (you’ve found a very pleasant format to listen to)!

    Coucou merci pour le partage de toutes ces connaissances, je pense aussi que cela répond à plein d’interrogations et de saine curiosité. Il y a de l’intérêt pour ce magnifique instrument et la culture d’où il provient. Ma femme a passé son diplome de céramique en présentant son didgeridoo, elle a pu raconter un peu de ce que vous nous avez appris et cela fascine, ils n’ont pas pu se retenir de souffler dedans pendant les délibérations…merci encore et bonne continuation (vous avez trouvé un format très agréable à écouter)!

    A tenth great thank you to you both. This “podcast-traveler’s guide” inspired me to the following conclusion: it’s really much easier to attend a workshop with Gauthier than to go to Australia! And even if you take a more or less big detour, depending on the workshop location, by visiting Greg’s shop.
    That was the free advertising page for you two!!!
    This series of ten podcasts was of great quality. We learned so many things. And never mind your modesty, you both can really be proud of yourselves.

    Un dixième grand merci à vous deux. Ce “podcast-guide du routard” m’a inspiré la conclusion suivante : il est vraiment beaucoup plus facile de suivre un stage avec Gauthier que d’aller en Australie! Et même si l’on fait un plus ou moins grand détour, selon le lieu du stage, en rendant visite à la boutique de Greg.
    C’était la page de publicité gratuite pour vous deux!!!
    Cette série de dix podcasts était d’une grande qualité. Nous avons appris plein de choses. Et tant pis pour votre modestie à tous les deux, vous pouvez être vraiment fiers de vous.

      Thanks Patrick for your feedback and the little plug. 🙂
      Well, I don’t teach the trad but Greg will be able to handle it perfectly. I have full confidence in him.

      And it’s true that we’re proud to have pulled off this series. We’re doing our little hummingbird part. ☀️

      Merci Patrick pour ton retour et la petite pub. 🙂
      Bon, je n’enseigne pas le trad mais Greg pourra s’en charger à merveille. J’ai pleinement confiance en lui.

      Et c’est vrai que nous sommes fiers d’avoir réaliser cette série. On fait notre petite part de colibri. ☀️
