Graham Wiggins (1962 – 2016) belongs to the first generation of didgeridoo players. This didgeridoo pioneer, also known as Dr Didg, built the first (and only?) keyed didgeridoo back in the 80s. This device gave him no fewer than 9 notes under his fingers, without any slides. A quick tour of this astonishing, overlooked invention and of his musical world, made up of 16 albums split between two projects: Outback and Dr Didg. Enjoy the episode (in French)!
