A life devoted to the didgeridoo with Zalem Delarbre

Meeting Zalem Delarbre

We’re kicking off this long series with an interview with Zalem!
Zalem Delarbre is one of the most visible didgeridoo players on the internet, thanks in particular to his legendary duo: Adèle et Zalem (but not only!).

Between beatbox, didgeridoo, electro influences and a life lived with passion, Rudi Delarbre, aka Zalem, shares his vision of the didgeridoo, his process for composing, the mics he recommends for the didgeridoo…

In short, one to listen to right away (in French). 🙂
