Peter 'Chainsaw' Atjpurrki is a didgeridoo player who lives on the Cox Peninsula in the NW region of the Northern Territory. He is seen here with his dance group performing at the Darwin Festival in 2007.
The genre of song from this area is known as Wangga, which uses an overtone-absent form of didgeridoo accompaniment. The 'match' between the singer's voice and the fundamental note of the didgeridoo is important in Wangga, as it is in most overtone-absent genres of song in the 'Top End' region.
Nice to hear some Wangga played live!
