You are extremely talented. Very nice job. Tell us a little about your didge. What is it made of and what key it is. I make agave didges and cant get them to sound as sweet as yours. Thanks
@walkabout29 Thank you :) I think my didge is made out of an eucalyptus tree, key is F and it's about 1.5 meter tall, bell is like 15 cm. and mouthpiece 4 cm I think. Good luck with making your didge!
I was told some 40 years ago by an Aboriginal elder that the reason for a woman not to play the didgeridoo was because it was initially used as a mating call by the male, the deep notes carry across the land at dusk & can be heard quite easily. Eukeygirl stated didgeridoos have been around for 50,000 years, this cannot be proved as cave drawing depictions of didgeridoos only date back as far as approximately 2,000 years, so I don't know how she came up with that statement.

Woooouuuu!! Splendid exhibition, precise and powerful touch... Good!
You don't have to worry you, to the aborigines it doesn't disturb if a woman plays the didjeridoo out of Australia...to they doesn't like him that people appropriate of their traditions and of their culture to make the money, but this is worth both for the women and for the men. You are free to play any rhythm "non traditional sacred" with your didjeridoo, but this is also worth both for the men and for the women...Cont..
Your friend is out of country and community. He would not behave like that with other aboriginal men around. You sound respectful but I suppose we cant expect you to understand. Thanks for the reply
Women are not only NOT ALLOWED to play the didge but are not ALLOWED TO EVEN TOUCH IT! It is very disrespectful to do this and its bad ju-ju for you. Its an instrument that has this ban on it for 50, 000 years! Think about that for a moment.
Djalu Gurruwiwi, whom I think deserves a lot of respect, gets his yidaki's paint by women. So, they touch it, they try the instrument (does it sound good?) and then sell it. And once again, what you mean is: Yidaki, gurrmurr or how you think it's called. I play DIDGERIDOO. It's the Western Style, and no Yid. So I'm sorry, I do respect the aboriginals who play Yidaki, I do respect the men who play it, but I DON'T play it. I play my own Rythms. Please, think about that, if you can.
@eukeygirl Why would you expect white people to respect An aboriginal "request"? Seen the percentage of Aboriginal inmates these days? Seems they dont care about our laws that are ENFORCEABLE. There is no law that can be enforced that restricts women from playing the didg. Just another example of Abos trying to throw their weight around.
Thought this was a doods thing, in fact, still think it is, wtf. Not, overly convinced as this is a mans thing. Reverb on the mic as there was no sole or upkeep to it. (sorry)
@eukeygirl Anyone can play this instrument, Sexism= Retardedly overrated...after all who supplies the vaginas and who makes the babies to keep society alive? I think any women should have the right to do something a man can.
Dammitt you're good O_O, I've bouth one some years ago but I've just started to play with it now. You're technique is astounding, and I wanna say that I'm glad to see a girl perform such song, meaning that if I work hard I can do something like you.
Traditionally women don't play yidaki. In Yolngu society yidaki is only mans business but seeing as yidaki is now a world wide, multiculturally played instrument it's sweetas for women to play i reckon. i think it adds some diversity to the instrument. very good playing though, keep on didjn :-D
You rock! I know tradition may say women can't play, but sometimes tradition is just plain WRONG! Keep it up! (note: this is written by a man who thinks it's stupid to think or say that a woman can't play a partiular intrument, much less be the leader of a democratic society)
I have to tell you; I KNOW women are not allowed to play the YIDAKI.
I play didgeridoo. It's a different thing. Didgeridoo is the "Western" way. I really respect the Yidaki players, who are mostly men (actually all of them). I don't play any traditional rhythms because I am a woman. You got me?
lol im soo not fussed about the whole women thing i tihink your a greta player and the didgireedoo is am amazin instrument, it gives me peace when i play mine, im not gettin into a political debate, cuz i hate youtube comment debates, they're pointless so keep on rockin in the free world
you guys are sick! what the hell is whrong with you people !? anne-marie is the best didgeridoo player in the whole world, and if you cant exept that, than... i dont know.. than you are stupid! :P
jeah I think youre very good:) good and complicate riddim. I m sad than I dont have a teacher :( soon some songs maybe of me:) and You Too give some more music stuff:) it would be great. greetings-Paul ...
Sorry but are you out of your mind a female of any race doesn't matter if your aboriginal, white, Asian what ever you are a female can not play a didgeridoo they can touch it but not play. In Aboringinal Cultural a didgeridoo is only made for a men to play I would stop now beacuse bad things happen to women. Search on the net and it will tell you. It the Koori(another word for Aboriginal) law. I'm married to an aboriginal man
I'm absolutely sorry, I try to respect the aboriginal culture, and will not play traditional rhythms (Yidaki) or something. I play rythms which are made by myself.
I know other women who play didgeridoo, and one of them had a workshop from Djalu Gurruwiwi, one of the best Aboriginal didgeridoo players. He said she was a great didgeridoo player, and I think he had no problems with her playing didgeridoo..
I'm sorry but I think I will not stop playing didgeridoo untill I die.
