This is how you become good at playing yirdaki, you practise all day and annoy the hell out of art centre staff! This was recorded at Yirrkala in 2004. I'm in the process of archiving all my old videos and I'll be uploading any interesting clips that I come across so keep checking back. Lots of new stuff too from the several trips to Arnhem Land this year.
Ha, this is great footage. Glad you're posting stuff like this. If it meant becoming anywhere as good as these kids on the dak, I'd bother the staff and do pull ups too!
I also know as a teacher that if you want to learn how to do something you ask a child. They have no inhibitions and would probably have a different, sometimes easier way of explaining how they toot that thang. Great stuff!!! Yep!
