[smashingpoop]

this is like the ancient version of djent

[numerator77]

oh i love the tone of this didgeridoo

[tadpole329]

I think i love this playing.....definately returning to the source...inspiring,...words fail to describe...:)

[DaGuittarMan]

Every time I see him playing I expect his eyes to just pop out of his face!

[morningglory101076]

I am a teacher to the young on the didg, after watching this i am now a student...RIP

[bamboosa]

I agree. I was speaking of things that non-native peoples in the west are interested in - the drone, circular breathing, animal sounds, rhythmic patterns , singing, and vocalizations. The traditional styles are something else altogether. I don't want anyone to be discouraged from playing just because it seems too difficult.

[bamboosa]

@gomektampa - too bad you don't live in L.A., I teach didge, and it is much easier than you think. I taught myself by reading shitty descriptions in library books.

[munnimann]

@bamboosa: Naah, the traditional Styles, the "real" rythms like this one, you can't learn from books I think.^^

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

MAN my eyes are watering cause my soul feels so alive right know!!!!!!!! i can hear the earth & needs our help!!!!!!!!

[frodnew1]

Another beautiful person and player who will be missed.

[monkeyeagle]

Hmmm,there is something about Nicky's particular style I really like! And of course this Yidaki is an incredible Masterpiece! Sad to hear of this talented young mans passing!!! May his soul be at Peace!

[timmysgonnagetcha]

What a nob down there.. Theres no such thing as a migrant.... we are all here in the same place. If you choose to believe countries have little walls surrounding them then thats your problem. No point argueing against people who dont really care what you have to say.

Beautiful instrument, amazing culture. Haha, if only more people were born there.

[inseldon1]

imho: i think you are all right from your point of view.. 1.: if all people came from africa, the indigeous people from australia are migrants.

but as we all dont KNOW, but only believe - because science can be wrong too - this is a fact, whe dont know who ever migrated to where ever...

and i think most important: who cares and whts the sense of this discussion? we are here to respect and tolerate others and create a world without hatefull things like this, just like meilaws said...

peace out

[seanOpete]

fuckin moomoo dickhead and surrealism yous are both right lol jess christ and by the way we are too big too be an island its a CONTENANT!!!! derr thats what it is classed as god if u wer a real aussie u shud know that

[meilaws]

people should just comment on the sound of the didge instead of trying to put their poltical veiws across here ,youtube is not the place for it ,because im sick of looking at these stupid comments talking about my people ,where do you people get off?

[moomoomooism]

The black man will always play this instrument better than any white men !, its apart of the aborigine just like he is apart of the land they live on. I'm not racist I'm half Australian oh and the main fact people miss is that the aborigine is a migrant and does NOT come from Australia but there race was the first to go to Australia, my brothers stepfather is a full blooded aborigine and were all proud of it...nick

[surrealismisabitch]

there was no-one here before them, and they were here for 60,000 years, i'm pretty sure they can claim to be the original inhabitants of this island lol.

[moomoomooism]

NO they are still migrants !,

in the beginning when man started on Earth there was NO one on this island ! that's the be all and end all of it as nice as they are MIGRANTS ther are...

[surrealismisabitch]

I'm not saying they aren't migrants? I'm just saying they are the original human inhabitants of Australia, none were here before them. So that entitles them to the name of "native"

[moomoomooism]

Hmmmm look up native and you will see your still wrong as the word NATIVE means originate and the aborigine's do not ORIGINATE from here so still and always be MIGRANTS  sorry end of debate ...

[surrealismisabitch]

are you retarded? I have not once said they ARE NOT MIGRANTS, infact the whole time i was AGREEING with you, so actually READ what i am writing, not what what you want to read. and something you dont know is "aboriginal" means "original inhabitants" so the fucking name alone means native. but seriously, 60,000 years, a few thousand generations. not a bad start to being native.

[surrealismisabitch]

and by the way, i said original HUMAN inhabitants, if there is no humans before them, then they are infact, so.

[moomoomooism]

well its a slanging match is it now Eh donkey raping shit eater know this.

indigenous: existing in a place from the earliest known times. original inhabitant: a member of a people who have lived in an area from the earliest known times.

ONLY ONE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS WE ALL COME FROM AFRICA OR ASIA (SCIENTISTS ARE STILL TRYING TO SORT THIS ANSWER OUT) AND THAT IS EARLIER THAN YOUR TRYING TO STATE ! SO WHATS IT LIKE TO BE WRONG .AGAIN !!! AS SAID BEFORE END OF DEBATE.

[surrealismisabitch]

Fuck me dead man, you are retarded, read what I write, from the start, I am NOT disagreeing with you. There is NO debate. And I am NOT wrong, scientists don't know where we come from, they are simply judging on where they have found the old human remains, maybe if Australias soil wasn't so highly corrosive they might find something here older, who knows. And who really gives a fuck? it don't even matter.

[FEEDBand]

@surrealismisabitch just a heads up on teh term 'native'. in the context of colonialism, in particular, British colonialism, the term "natives", as applied to the inhabitants of colonies, assumed a disparaging and patronising sense, implying that the people concerned were incapable of taking care of themselves and in need of Europeans to administer their lives. So many to most indigenous people resent the use of the term and consider it insulting.

[driftwoodbeech]

One of favourites...Learnt a lot from this one THANKS !!

[Khalilullah]

I played with him in Bellingham, Wa many years ago; a very cool dude, and he taught me tons that afternoon, playing out in the woods by the bay. Cool memory.

[LHOOQ1959]

please show respect to this young man and his family - he was a great talent and his presence is surely missed by everyone who knew him and loved his music

[mellowfarm]

Brilliant technique ! Nice one Nicky.

[Guevaristas]

in the 1980s we use to like waste away gloriously on the dole-such grand fun financed by the naive capitalist (sucker)state.

Mates had a great giggle ranting about the exploits of lazy aussie life and lying on a beach at "surfers (intellectuals) paradise" lol supping aussie horse pis beer.

The white aussies were so blind, we were using their rock, ex-penal colony for cheap holidays, all expenses paid. Thanks so much aussie, you "done a great job and you is great hosts" (Oxford educated)

[ozzez8282]

Racism is alive and well. Maybe don't watch it if you don't like or appreciate this type of music!

[theshadowboy607]

good music!

[apfire8]

WYF??? Is that musical talent in his land?

Sounds like a sick cow with a bad lifter!

[JohnZackarias]

Yes, that's called talent.

Try playing for so long without gasping for air, then tell me it doesn't require talent.

[bdanieltube]

nigga danmmmmm

[Guevaristas]

we see how white aussies mis-treat the aboriginal people and disrespect them. Many new zealanders know about this and many refuse to travel to "the burnt rock".

Aus belongs to the indigenous peoples, ie the Aboriginals, the whites and others are overstayers. The need need kicked out. The later are the remnants of british convicts

[SJB666]

we don't want you lowlife doll bludgers over here anyway. Its a known fact you scum bags come here in the thousands to earn more money on the doll. So I'm glad your gonna stay where you are. Go spend your weeks wage on some slabs of beer and fush and chups dickhead.

[ClassicAussieMusic]

is this video made for shits and giggles or what

hey whats this song called centerlink blues? petrol housing commission fun? piss'd and broke?

[Guevaristas]

Long Live the Aboriginal peoples!!

[ClassicAussieMusic]

well the ones that dont sniff petrol yeah

but when the natrual resources such as petrol run out they will stop dying out and oh who am i kidding theres paint, paint thinner, aerosol, glue

hell when they had to introduce opal fuel to the northern territory i was like and i quote "Aboriginals are like big f**king children, you've got to put things high out of their reach such as petrol, you gotta put a roof over their head (dept. of housing commission) and give them money (centerlink)

[theshadowboy607]

Do not try to be funny.

[jdrothrock]

It looks like he just burnt a fat one

[finisher193]
