"We're not poor, because we've got the culture."" how absolutely precious this is. using this definition... how rich are we?🌺
The brother has a beautiful singing voice; incredible family heritage connection with each generation.
A tranquil experience even just by watching this documentary. Vernon expels so much peace, confidence and wisdom. Amazingly crafted movie! Yo :)
Even the dancing is in this culture is at a young age, so natural. If only we were taught our indigenous peoples full history and cultures when I was at school in the 70s 80s, so happy to see now than never! Many of us have a new respect for our ancient peoples, than any other time since we began arrival in 1788.. beautiful episode, very gentle!
We are told 1788 but people was in the land way before.. we are taught lie and dumb down through public schools and it makes me livid that are government is behind it. Each generation gets worse and worse because of us being dumbed down and our natural senses stole from us ti where we can’t use them to know right from wrong and the gov. wants the control. We let it happen and it’s sad!!
This yidaki is so awesome... Pure energy in sound
We are not poor, because we've got the culture. Profound.
You will never be poor if you respect the land you sow❤️❤️❤️🧎🧎🧎
Who said you are poor. You are very rich with good nature and good culture
Thank you for sharing your culture. I have learned a lot of good things about the yidakis. Now I have a better understanding of what you and your family have together and how things are passed on. Truely beautiful.
Absolutely beautifully filmed! Incredible movie!
Loved when the brother started singing. And the poor frog must have been spooked.
brother blows a little... frog jumps out, "thanks, i needed healing!" 🐸
The aboriginal people of Australia are very special and very important people in this world and constantly under rated and respected and appreciated by people who have some understanding about their culture i love them 😍 😂🇦🇺💟☮️😍🦘🦘🦘😂😂😂
Such a cool family. Amazing gifts. God bless.
Cool show. Love when the Roland gets brought out.
Yes, such a beautiful singing
Incredible...among the few really good views into this process and a realistic modern perspective as well.

The frog in the log: ayo wtf is all this noise
Me gustó mucho este hermoso video, hermoso lugar, música y hermosa gente. Me encantó sobre todo el arte de pintura de la señora en el didgeridoo. Felicitaciones.
Just beautiful!!!
I love these guys
Great video. I've been considering making my own didgeridoo. i need more videos like this and learn about sourcing the right wood.
Love this
Beautiful people!
❤🙏❤️ blessings from the Netherlands
Thank you, very informative 👍
Beautiful voice!
Thanks!
He's perfectly correct when he says they're good for healing. It's also good that he didn't elaborate on the statement. You're meant to find out for yourself.
I've never thought about the arts of the Pacific.
Thank you, very informative
GRACIAS POR TAN GRAN CONOCIMIENTO Y QUE NO SE PIERDA, ME ENCANTO EL DOC

IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEY USING NATURE THINGS LIKE SUPER GLUE...
i got a bamboo one, would love to go there and make 1 with them. a real one.
I will say this Directing and soundtrack (if original) is very good
Stunning video. So beautiful. The text titles aren't easy to read on a smartphone. Not high enough contrast.
Dream time
I love they talling about there own culture and all amd sounds like your typical Australian dush
Cool hearing him say his little filler words like “ahyeah” and “ayoh”
EVERY TIME THEY STEPPING ON THE BEACH THE WHOLE TRINITY *SHARK* *CROCODILE* AND *JELLY FISH* ARE GETTING READY FOR A MEAL
Me enamore darwin, su territorio, sus valores y la cuna del yidaki, saludos desde Chile. Ojalá podre conocer su cultura y filosofía de nuestro gran hermano indígena djalu gurruwiwi.
Manny mak!!
👍 does one made with traditional methods sound the same or better? Amazing 👌
My man👍🧎❤️ always keep fishing ❤️
If this has not touched your heart ( something not working ) . Go see -Feel- country for yourself . Ocean heal also . Together we make home. Beautiful work many thanks to everyone . Muckwatuck nudjung
Good
❤
I always love the sound of the Yidaki, it so bad I can't find that kind wood here, I'm a wood carver I do wood carving to keep me in meditation 🧘♂ 🧘♂
I doesn't take a particular type of tree. Simply one that is hollow or eaten out by termites. Where I'm from we use stringy bark tree from swampy ground.
From Germany: the thing we lost the most, is to say thanks to creation in our words to the Land.
👍👍👍❣️
Thanks a lot for this video. Nice flow, we feel the serenity of the place.
Is it still possible to come and learn from the Gurruwiwi family under current times?
Thanks again.
Renaud Gay : hi yes you can contact his son,what i heard about his Dadi Is not healthy for now,he is now something like 90ties ... Good luck
34:03 that was tight I hope to do that with my nephew someday

great video ,,, great people ,,, i will try to make one Didgeridoo //
Mighty Fiskars Axe👍
Great documentary. But I wonder how they did it before they had metal tools, with stone tools only!
And fire.
Stone tools can be pretty good! But my experience working with Yolŋu people and examining didgeridoos in museum collections suggests that in the past, they mostly used smaller, more hollowed/thinner-walled trees that required less work. Better availability of tools, including power tools, seems to have affected yiḏaki crafting a lot. It's also important to know that Yolŋu had steel tools brought by Indonesian traders long before Europeans settled in the Top End.
@@randinmusic Cool, thanks for the info. Plus, they probably didn't need to make all that many yidaki. After all, in the dry environment a good one could be handed down through the generations for a long time.
From the video footage they are really a likeable people with a fascinating cultural tradition. It's such a shame and loss that Christianity ruined indigenous culture and religion all over the world.
@@petrairene Actually, it's a monsoonal climate, and the stringy bark didgeridoos will dry out and crack very quickly. I've seen favored ones stored in a stream to keep from cracking, and instruments in progress left on the beach at the high tide mark so they're kept moist without being washed away. But yeah, you're right. In the old days, they would just make one when they needed them, as opposed to now when many are made for sale.
18:00 the healing powers
Adapting to the NWO...🥺
Stay as you are ❤️ vibration and frequency is the key❤️
They did this to Raster Island.
JUST LIKE THIS!
They most likely not wearing jeans and T shirts.
I've been playing the didgeridoo for about 20 years. One which I bought last time I was in Australia and I would like to get in contact with the people in this production to see if I can request a didgeridoo to be made by them. I'm visiting Australia from October 15th -31st 2022. Can you help?
Get in contact with Jesse Lethbridge. He can hook you up with a proper Yidaki from Nhulunbuy- where these didges are made.
@@conradpower7724 thanks for the reply. Unfortunately just arrived home 2 days ago from the trip. Appreciate you effort.
The Arman Land, is part of the Northern Territory…and it is special lands that can only be by invitation only
There's a little more use of power tools used than I knew in making yidaki ....termites aren't on the payroll are they ? still a healing instrument anyway.. playing one will change you. One of mine had Crack repaired came from Darwin in North territory....
How did you make the whole
Does anybody know who's singing on that keyboard?that is some very good music
Larry Gurruwiwi
Thank you
What tools were used in the past?
Which part of Australia is this video taken?
North-east Arnhem Land
@@allison_holds_space thank you so much!!!
The healing part is such a great BS😂😂😂😂

Does the magic horn the shadows will come
💚💫🌈
What does minmak mean? He says it all the time.
@@davestegers thanks 🙌!
It's 'manymak'
I have often thought that Australia is protected by forces known to our indigenous people.
We are united by tamilian of south Indian
He taps the trees etc. is an expert but had to cut down 3 wrong ones to get to one with the right thickness?🤔🤨 Are those wasted or left out for the termites to hollow out some more so they can in fact be used in time? Just a question 🤷🏽♀️
wasted.
Nothing is ever "wasted"... Termite food makes them fatter for eating. Plus firewood, spears, shelter, etc... Perhaps it was a demo to help educate. 🙂✌👣
I think he chops the 'promising' trees; after some working on it he can assess the possible sound.
The fallen trees join nature's circles and processes. Termites don't eat fallen trees, as far as I know.
We need to put phones down and be back with nature.. as we once was.
Funny that you are saying this on the internet.
Who is the guy with the blue shirt @ 9:55
Vernon Gurruwiwi, son of yidaki Master Djalu Gurruwiwi.
Tree huggers are having apoplexy watching these trees get chopped down.
Yidakis have many different names in the many languages of the indigenous Australia’s.
Yidakis are from Arnhem land tribe language…
Also Australia is a continent. Not the pacific.
Does anyone know if the Australian English accent originated from Aboriginal languages?
It does not, its a mix of dialects from the British isles.
@@juriaan13 thanks!!
Yes, and the Alaskan accent comes from a Aleuts. "Ooh hey there folks, if ya stand here on a clear day you can see Russia!"
they should be running our country we can learn from these people Australia would be a much better place
Jordan Peterson would be shocked...
🙂interesting; why?
@@inlakesh555 No doubt Jordan has studied this and knows much more than you or I could possibly ever know.
He needs to sharpen the axe
We are not poor because we’ve got the culture. Amen Brother.

Did or do women play yidaki..?
I'm going to stick with the saxophone.
I'm getting blasted by a didg for 4 hours a day, but my bone cancer still isn't in remission.
Sorry to read that.
It's about the player of the Yidaki.
Good luck🍀🌞!
they say once you become a musician even if you are the worst musician in the world you are a musician😮😢😅🎉🎉🎉😂cool
Get a grinder and sharpen that ...geez
Hmm. They will happily sell me a yidaki. If i sit in the bush and play it, ill get accused of cultural appropriation by the natives, while the 4x4 crowd assume im a greens voting hippy poofta.
Cant win...
I actually only ever played a yidaki because it helped my lungs heal after quitting smoking 🤔
Disappointed. I wanted to see how they were made before the white man came with metal tools. :(
It is no smart program. in vain Why does the video show!
Please. stay away from Elon Musk!
