Thought to be one of the oldest wind instruments known and made from eucalyptus branches naturally hollowed by termites, didjeridoos play an important role in the Australian Aborigine’s rich spiritual culture. As a drone instrument the didgeridoo cannot produce melodies but is capable of an astonishing variety of sounds and percussive rhythms. Instruments will be provided. With Michael Edwards.
