After introducing the Mago in the previous episode, we now turn to the star of traditional didgeridoos: the Yidaki. And that’s good timing, because it’s Greg’s favorite instrument! You’ll soon realize that his passion is quickly contagious! Greg has so much to tell us that we split this topic into two parts. In this first part, I asked him about how the art centers are organized, which link Aboriginal craftsmanship with white people, and also why the Yidaki is so much more popular than the Mago. Finally, Greg tells us about the key figures of this now legendary instrument. Enjoy listening!
