Guess what, traditionalist didgeridoo person who says that women shouldn't be allowed to play...evolve, already. She is really very, very good.

[MultiThunder1234]

Women are prohibited of playing the didgeridoo at official ceremonies or performances , this is an outright violation of aboriginal "Dreaming Law", some tribes are lenient and allow playing on a social level with friends and family but some are not and consider this an attempt to mock and shame their culture = they might get very upset, nonetheless, if you are not in Australia, you're all good and she is a fantastic player *wink*

[Unabomber2]

Blote voetjes :)

[liesundertrees]

@Unabomber2 ja lekker, earthy! Liefs

[CoreyL11]

sounds like a dog barking at some points

[Elrikandgunsdotcom]

This is a great performance, but australian aborigens can feel kinda offended. They say that woman can't play this instrument.

I'm don't agree with that, but i'm not australian!

[theoriginalMaxman2]

ancient dubstep

[NotAUserToday07]

@theoriginalMaxman2 Yeah, 'cause it's ancient shite!

[liesundertrees]

@NotAUserToday07 Not really, but I did get a blessing from Djalu Gurruwiwi, so I do think this custodian is really okay with me playing!!! Also got some other important men from North-East Arnhemland telling me they thought it was okay for me to play this wonderful instruments!!! Love and respect XXX

[docatomics]

...fantastic, except for the leaving of my other senses full of anticipation, yet not jealous, just wanting more to complex your story, something to make it as viral as it is , at the most primitive roots of simplicity , as it was when we once again live in a world that had vanquished trinkets as a side effect of her renewal cycles, as so to must any mother, once in moon or many

[liesundertrees]

@docatomics Don't understand but love to u 2!!!

[Remos7]

miracleeee !!!!

[liesundertrees]

[liesundertrees]

@thexbigxgreen Thank you very much 4 your compliment!

Love

[hamelzz]

I bet she would give good head

[jwl665]

Awesome, but sorry to be a party pooper but isn't are women meant to player didgeridoos in Aboriginal culture?

[liesundertrees]

@jwl665 Well, I am a western emancipated woman living in a sort of emancipated part of the world. And was blessed by an old custodian of the Yidaki (didgeridoo), and he taught me to, so maybe I am allowed?

And thanx 4 your compliment!!

Love

[plsphd47]

Terrific!!!

[liesundertrees]

@plsphd47 merci!!!

[ozgood1x]

Liefs

[468350]

yeah thats true my friend

[468350]

your going to have a baby,because in our land if girl plays didge they have baby ...

[liesundertrees]

@468350 wow that would be amazing! I would love that, immaculate!!!

[wolwolhume]

@468350 that is right

[liesundertrees]

@wolwolhume would be great! I would love to have a baby :-)

Nothing happened yet after 18 years, I should be grandma almost ;-)

Love

[docatomics]

@liesundertrees ...what baby wouldn't love to have you

~even before hearing momy play luiabuys to the univerese;

may you and your chosen lover create more than just edutainemt together, beautiful friend.

[acbluestone]

Outta sight! Sweet! I was a little thrown off by her hand-jiving, but that don't mean didley. She can blow, man!!!

[liesundertrees]

@acbluestone Thanx from strange hand-jiving woman!

Love

[verticalsmurf]

Traditionally women aren't allowed to play the didgeridoo, but this girl plays it so well!!!

[liesundertrees]

@verticalsmurf Thanx 4 your compliment!!

And to your other remark, I am a western emancipated woman living in a sort of emancipated part of the world. And was blessed by an old custodian of the Yidaki (didgeridoo), and he taught me to, so maybe I am allowed?

Love

[verticalsmurf]

@liesundertrees - Of course you should play! I should have worded my comment better. I was trying to subtly point out that some traditions have no meaning now. If someone is good at something and enjoy doing it, they are ripping the world off if they don't do it.

[tc35drum]

@verticalsmurf Women are not allowed to play in ceremonies but are allowed to play at home.

[verticalsmurf]

@tc35drum - Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated.

[AussieGuyTerry79]

@verticalsmurf Woman are allowed to play the didgeridoo unless they are of Aboriginal decent.. At least that is my understanding. Very well played here. I've been playing the didge myself for about 15yrs

[Gandalfat]

woooooow that´s sg <;o)

[liesundertrees]

@Gandalfat don't know what sg means but anyways, Love!!!

[CommanderSpooky]

You know, I've been a percussionist for 15+ years and as soon as this started the drum implications were immediate in my head. I could hear it in my mind, and I replayed it and started tapping it out on the computer desk. I love when someone is so talented at what they do that it can spark inspiration. That's wonderful, and thank you Lies for sharing your gift, your talent, and your inspiration with the world.

[liesundertrees]

@CommanderSpooky Thanx soooo much 4 your compliment

[richardachill]

shes amazing

[liesundertrees]

@richardachill thanx

[fernmatic]

ripping ... so damn good !

[liesundertrees]

@fernmatic thank u

[Johngu1tar]

WOMAN AT DIDGE!

HERESY!!!!

[ozgood1x]

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ADD SPECIAL EFFECTS ? I want to know :o)

God , I could Eat this stuff for breakfast , lunch, and Dinner !

Phase Shifter, Octave Splitter, Echo, Radio, and MORE !

Do it. Do it. Do it.......

[prodigyoftheyear]

It's like beatboxing except more complex O_O

[TheFishexpert1]

[dustytrayl]

AWESOME!!! I am crying!! WoW!! Love the different sounds!

[solorider55]

This girl is awesome !!! What a sound !!!!

[TheFishexpert1]

whats up with those retarded hand movements?

[greatorderofchaos]

nice =)

[feenin4u247]

I want to learn. I bought a didgeridoo while I was in Australia I can only do a basic sound. I don't have a teacher but would like to learn how to make beats like this.

[gc8driver]

Awesomely insane!

[wunjothurisaz]

How do you make that sound effect at the very beginning? Like 'Dobredob'

[slowdog294]

Love that rhythm. Excellent playing.

[woodinsky100]

your sooo good!!!!!

[FOXYKAT6]

beautiful....I love how much feeling and emotion u express in your face and movement while you play :) very fun to watch

[UnkBlount]

it sounds like demon farts

[morita6]

WOW!!!!! Loved it!!!

[derzugfahrer]

was ist das für tonlage?

[xxDefuserxx]

it have some think like Beatbox....

VERY VERY GOOD

[caz99]

Wow That was *SUPER~AWESOME*!!!! :O)

[SONGSTICKS]

Hi,

I saw you several years ago at Didge fest in Devon, Uk.

You were awesome then and you're awesome in this video.

I met you briefly, whilst talking to my friends Richard and Pete of "Astral Circus", but I don't spose you'd remember.

Anyway.. Thanks for that musical offering.

Big Hugs

[lifeasbrad]

you're an inspiration :)

[lytken]

OMG you really blow me away

your so awesome

[Ambientpaul]

What's all this rubbish about disrespect? No one complains when a nonindgenous person plays any other so called 'religious instrument". If it was not for Lies there would be many starving indigenous Australians who make a huge profit from selling didgeridoos. It also spreads the culture and plight of the indidgenous Australians. Keep it up Lies. You're obviously doing well as there would not be so many comments!!!! You're a brilliant didge player.

[shaddiesel]

wow... are you giving lessons in vienna?

[alan111best]

You're brilliant. Lies.

Thank you so much for showing your amazing ability. Haven't seen you at any festivals for a while - the last was in Devon, England two years ago. Anyway, hope you are still performing around the world.

Keep rocking!!!!!!

[bassbonemexie]

THAT HAND HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN

[elloko25]

This is brilliant!!! Nice job, starting to love such unappreciated instrument.

[eeriebadfish]

very impressive

[jamajamaika]

she speaks! :D

[72Reni]

BRAVISSIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[chayward16]

Its good,

but if you were a true didgeridoo player you would respect the Aboriginal culture and NOT PLAY the didgeridoo (Yidaki) because in their culture women are not supposed to play, and there is actually reason for that other than sexism.

Why don't you search it!!

How disrespectful!!

[belgianbingo]

@chayward16 : please, smart guy, impress us fully with your yidaki knowledge, and give us the actual reason, in stead of hinting at something you don't write.

[chayward16]

@belgianbingo Well the TRUE aboringinies say that it stuffs up the reproductive system.

But I'm from Australia and over hear most ppl know that it is disrespectful to play because that is their tradition!!!

The Yidaki is a Sacred instrument commonly used in ceremonies by males.

It is Australian Aboriginal tradition and if ur a female aand play the Yidaki then you are disrespecting a ancient tradition.

I am not being sexist, I am simply pointing out that its disrespectful!!!

[kerrie1ella]

@chayward16 yeah i was just about to write sumfin like this. im sorry but it is disrespectful for a girl to play it. but u r good tho. but yeah

[chayward16]

@kerrie1ella Thank you very much for agreeing with me, its good to know that some ppl know the culture, I'm not saying shes not good, its just disrespectful, btw she uses her voice a little too much but thats all good

[Cre8iveSignWorks]

@belgianbingo

hes got a point!

there are many that think its disrespectful....all he said was that its commonly used in ceremonies by males. he didnt say that women shouldnt play didge, only that its disrespectful. we are aboriginal family, but some allow it but most will look down apon it.

[myonline88]

Oh boy, this instrument rocks. I think it is good for playing in a gig or a wedding party. I'm gonna tear apart our long telescope and convert it like this didgeridoo. Hehehe. Cool!!

[hazsp]

Fantastic ! :-D

[ForeverNaturallyMine]

My God, I've been trying to play my pvc, and i cant even get close to that

Wicked Awesome Mate!!

[roflolmaomfg4u]

she uses her voice too much. too much spitblowing

[namaikatiusernamea]

Now that's some serious talent very nice

[ScowlingWolf]

cool lady

[einbecker69]

fett



[BatonRoadMr]

yeahhh is good

[Lupex19]

it's like beatboxing...but with a different come-out sound...it's not bad

[giseleclemos]

Another great song! Better is impossible!

Regards

[ViruS963]

First time i see woman so greatful

[0cerpintaxt0]

Drum 'n Didge fest is there something like this in holland? I would love to see all those artist preform.

I like this preference! I bought one for myself it's pretty hard to play

[benoitbono]

oh punaise, j'en ai la chaire de poule!!!!! redondant, percutant, tout simplement plein de talent! bravo...

[Quodge]

Lies!!! I recognized your STYLE!!! :D I was on Aboriginal Art.NL Listening to loads of didges for fun n the rhythms on some of the demonstration sounded a bit familliar..! So I searched for a bit n came back to this vid which is the first one I saw of you n where I recognized ur style from.. I youtubed didges for about a year before I got my first one 3 weeks ago its awesome.. Its made by this guy who lives in Devon (south west England)

Ive also just ordered a slide didge :P All the best!!! :)

[darkmagicofhell]

[triman777]

[n3rdz0rz]

Great Job !

I wondered, how were you allowed to play this instrument ? Isn't it normally only for men ?

[IsOk10]

ooh!

[wortdurchfall]

Kindergeburtstag!!!!....und Frauen(?!) sollen dies nicht!!!!!!

[plsphd47]

You are amazing!!

[wildjack41255]

that must hurt on your mouthe after a while?

[mrwhite21]

@wildjack41255 "that must hurt on your mouthe after a while?"

oh wow

[GifmeSpace]

First time seeing this instrument. How do you pronounce it - Dee-Ger-Ree-Do, or Dee-Jer-Ri-Do, or...???

[liesundertrees]

Depends a bit on which country your from.

The french pronaunce it a bit different than the Japanse.

So make it what ever sounds good to u!

Love,

Lies

my name you should pronance as Lise if your from the states for instance

[king2102b]

@GifmeSpace It is pronounced DId-Jer-Ree-Doo as it is spelt Didgeridoo

[fmerhi100]

Can i just say.. I adore the didgeridoo. Im not Aboriginal but i am absolutely

fascinated by the culture,the original custodians of Australia. The aboriginal culture is so interconnected with nature. It is a truly beautiful culture.

[2020abcd]

[Northernindex]

Lies - from didgers around the world: Forget these people - just keep playing> I got the thought just listening to you now that you were born to play the didge. Keep a Buddhist drone and forget any negative

[liesundertrees]

@Northernindex Thank you very much!!!

I will keep playing, impossible to stop!

Love,

Lies

[Northernindex]

Lies, thanks for replying as now I can access all your pieces.

I think Salome is the best!

You inspired me to pick up the didge again and keep trying with this impossible marvellous instrument

[liesundertrees]

Good to hear!!!

Keep playing my friend!

Love,

Lies

[liesundertrees]

Hi TG,

Thank u 4 your nice compliments!

Yep I do beat box a little, it's fun and good for the muscles.

A tip is to breath your rhythms, so a lot of little breaths, my inbreaths are relaxing my belly. Good luck!

And I am sure there are lots of didge players in California... google?

Love,

Lies

[ErikLydecker]

[williepete]

Traditionally women are not supposed to play the didgeridoo, it was a men's instrument. Just over a year ago, Harper Collins had to make a a public apology for a book that encouraged women to try it. So however goodor bad her technique may be, this woman s insulting the culture that produced the instrument she is playing.

[didjmark]

The things I hear are that it changes between communities, and that most believe that a woman should not play a man's didgeridoo. I think it has something to do with blowing the spirit of a person through the didge. I hear that in some communities you should only play your own, and in others only the storyteller is allowed to play it.

I like to think that everyone who playes my didgeridoos put their own energy into it, one that I may learn from.

[liesundertrees]

Hi there Willie and Mark,

Thanx 4 your comments.

I visited an old custodian in Arnhemland (where this instrument originates from) and he taught me to play and also blessed me.

I know it is not a common thing in their way that females play, but his wife and daughters are excellent players to. But would never perform, that's up to him and his son.

It is by no means illegal of any sort,

[liesundertrees]

but some female's will look at u strangely, like many years ago here in Europe, when a woman would wear pants. It is part of the male things.

But I am glad we are emancipated here/now and I am allowed to do man's things, because I love playing this wonderful instrument!!!

Love,

Lies

[williepete]

@liesundertrees - Is that you playing in this video? I'm not trying to bag you, I know some Kouri groups allow women to play in private. I believe in respect - men have had to learn to respect women more, westerners are learning to respect indigenous cultures more. I think that women need to respect men as well, and maybe that means maybe accepting that sometimes there are cultural boundaries that should not be overstepped, just because they are there. cheers

[liesundertrees]

Hi,

I understand what you are saying, so if I am in Oz and an aboriginal person comes up to me and tells me it's not played by women in his clan, I will not play, so I would respect his culture. But in my land I believe the rules of my country apply, no?

I would never walk with my shoes on in a house I was asked to remove my shoes. But in my house you can wear shoes, no problem.

Love,

Lies

[protectoroffaith]

@williepete Buddy i haven't heard and abridgeanl people give her hell back off and bite your tounge next time its a diffrent time you fuck tard get your facts straight GOT IT check your insults at the door got it
