Larry Winiwini Gurruwiwi - crankin' up yirdaki!

Due to the overwhelming response to the Baywara clip and requests for more tutorial-type material, here's another one of Larry Winiwini that will be useful for students and budding traditionalists. Larry really is a fine player and seems to be only getting stronger and stronger each year. Those who were at the Rripangu Yirdaki Festival in Eisenbach, Germany, in 2002 would no doubt have been impressed with Larry's power and precision at that time. Since then, he has further refined a marvellous syncopation style that is all his own... I've not heard another Yolngu yirdaki player play quite like Larry.

Material here shows front- and side-on shots including close-ups.

Enjoy and do let me know if you have questions!

I'll pass your comments to Winiwini :-)

Thank you!

First of all I'm not your 'm8'. Second you are the dickhead for coming on here and spreading your ignorant closed mined hate to someone who is trying to be helpful. And actually I can circular breath and I can play any instrument I want. Ireland is a free country. Thirdly, learn to communicate properly and you might find that people will take you more seriously you baboon.

I make and teach didgeridoo, and when it comes down to it, you just play the damn thing, front, side, whatever. Don't get hung up on technique.
