This is part of the Woggan-ma-gule ceremony held on Australia Day to commemorate the past and celebrate the future. The place where the ceremony is performed was once an Aboriginal sacred ground where male initiation rites were performed.The smoke on the right is from a smoking or cleansing ceremony.
I was talking to this guy at Brisbanes Southbank Parkland who is a busker, and while it was difficult for me to almost lie on the footpath to take this, I was very pleased with how it came out.
He is 69, Samoan, and retired, and I think the busking is more about being there rather than the income stream.
Lots of people chat to him, and it is quite a social thing to do. Tourists (particularly Asians) love to take his photo.
The common name didgeridoo is actually spelled didgeridu. Traditionally, the aboriginal Australians would find a tree trunk or branch that had a hollow or soft, termite eaten centre that when cleaned out made a hollow tube. If anyone disagrees, let me know.
It is an unusual instrument because a special technique called 'circular breathing' is used to play the instrument where air is breathed in through the nose at the same time as air is being blown out of the mouth to play maintaining a continuous sound on the instrument.
The "didge" is a male oriented instrument, and the restrictions for female players vary around Australia depending on the cultural boundaries of various groups, and range from total prohibition of women players, to allowing them, but not in aboriginal ceremonies.
If you get a chance to experience the "didge", you will find them an exciting sound, and recently they have been mixed with more traditional instruments.
Listen to some upbeat buskers at Sydneys Circular Quay ferry terminal.

There is a some symbolism on each of their own didgeridoos which relates directly to them and their jobs at LEGO.
El didgeridoo, didjeridu o diyiridú es un instrumento de viento, o aerófono, ancestral utilizado por los aborígenes de Australia.
Básicamente es un tubo de madera, el cual se hace sonar al hacer vibrar los labios en el interior.
Se supone que tiene unos 2.000 años de existencia, de acuerdo con la datación de algunas pinturas rupestres en las que aparece el instrumento, aunque los propios aborígenes le dan una antigüedad de hasta 40.000 años.
El término didgeridoo no es de procedencia aborigen; es el que le dieron los europeos en sus primeras visitas a la isla. En las decenas de dialectos aborígenes se tiene una palabra distinta para designar a este instrumento, como por ejemplo yidaki, ginjungarg, eboro, djalupu, maluk, etc. El didjeridu está estrechamente ligado a la existencia espiritual de los aborígenes.
Su principal función es la de acompañar un baile y a un cantante, sirviendo como instrumento de acompañamiento, así como marcando el tiempo para el ritmo de las canciones.
Os dejo un vídeo que he encontrado por la red para que os hagáis una idea de como suena:

Lemorai. The word for 'gypsy' or 'traveller' in Tetun, the language of East Timor. Lemorai create a border crossing fusion of Greek, Turkish music with Indian, African and Middle Eastern beats on didgeridoo and violin.
J'ai rencontré ce groupe de jeunes marocains jouant de la musique, notamment avec un didgeridoo, sur la plage de Rabat. Ils ont bien voulu me laisser faire des photos.
N.B.: Le didgeridoo a été fabriqué par le gars qui est à l'extrême gauche de la photo ( bien sur sans jeu de mots) .
Detail of a Wix Stix didgeridoo.
The Didgeridoo (or Yidaki) stems from and is used by Aboriginal Australians (especially from the North-East Arnhem Land) for traditional ceremonies and rituals.
It is a cylindrical or conical wind instrument, traditionally made from the stem of an eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed-out by termites. Nowadays, other tree sorts are used and other construction techniques developed.
It is played by vibrating lips against the mouthpiece to produce a continuous drone while using a special breathing technique called circular breathing.
