Wambarna & Burrngupurrngu Wunungmurra, father and son

Wambarna Wunungmurra is one hell of a speedster, he is known in the Miwatj region of Arnhem Land as an accomplished yirdaki player and as the first son of Bruce Burrngupurrngu, the pedigree could not be any better. Here Wambarna demonstrates his agility and freaky pace on the "Italian" yirdaki... those at Djalu's Masterclass would recognise this stick :-)

Wambarna and Bruce stand side-by-side in the 2nd part of this clip and Bruce explains, among other things, that Wambarna will carry on with yirdaki when Bruce is gone.

Great!

I'm "Italian" and I've a Burrngupurrngu Yirdaki within my Yidaki collection.

I think Burrngupurrngu Wunungmurra is one of the best in crafting Yirdaki.
