Bob Burduwal (also known as Bob Burruwal) is a brother to another great mago maker, Ambrose Cameron (deceased). Since Ambrose's passing, Burduwal has stepped up and taken the lead as the leading Rembarrnga mago maker in north-central Arnhem Land. His instruments are a delight to play and his best works show a steady hand and an eye for detail. Many of his great sticks have conical-shaped bores that have been clearly and meticulously worked, much like his brother's Ambrose's instruments. They are also sometimes decorated in multi-coloured hand-prints in ochre - a signature design that Ambrose pioneered.
This mago is played by Burduwal's brother-in-law Darryl Digarrnga. Darryl praised this mago highly and remarked on its suitability for certain Gunborrk songs. This is a serious mago...
You`re bad to the Bone Brother!!!
