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.

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.
Quando l'uomo ritorna alle origini.
vibrazioni ancestrali che ti invadono,
ti prendono,
ti fondono armoniosamente in un tumulto d'onde,
tu gli dai e lui ti dĂ .
amalo e saprai cos' è l'enfasi....

The Didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu or didge) is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago and is still in widespread usage today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as a brass aerophone.
A modern didgeridoo is usually cylindrical or conical, and can measure anywhere from 1 to 3 m (3 to 10 ft) long. Most are around 1.2 m (4 ft) long. The length is directly related to the 1/2 sound wavelength of the keynote. Generally, the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch or key of the instrument.
The didgeridoo is played with continuously vibrating lips to produce the drone while using a special breathing technique called circular breathing. This requires breathing in through the nose whilst simultaneously expelling stored air out of the mouth using the tongue and cheeks. By use of this technique, a skilled player can replenish the air in their lungs, and with practice can sustain a note for as long as desired.
Watch a clip of these 3 and 5 year old brothers from Australia playing the didgeridoo (yirdaki) at home.

I met this gentleman twice on Sunday. The first time was when he was assisting Em and I through Golden Gate Park and the second time was when I went to photograph him playing the Didgeridoo. What a wonderful kind soul he is.
The weather was so revolting that I couldn't get out to take some shots of tall buildings in the area - of which there are few - so this Didgeridoo was the only tall thing around when stood up is just about as tall as me....although I am vertically challenged at only 5' 2".

The didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu or didge) is a wind instrument of the Aborigines of northern Australia. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as an aerophone. The instrument is traditionally made from living Eucalyptus trees, which have had their interiors hollowed out by termites. Contrary to popular belief, logs are not stuck into termite mounds, the termites do all the work by themselves. Crafters would find suitable trees by knocking on the bark to see if it was hollow.

Went for another day of shooting yesteday (Sunday 2nd of November) with Nefarious Photography (--> Contacts). We spent some time in the Conservatory of Flowers where I had a lot of fun with my friends 105mm Sigma Macro - it was rawsome!
Anyway, on the way out and back into the park - we found this guy playing the fabled Didgeridoo instrument (if you haven't tried playing one, do so - it's seriously hard). He's a California Highway Patrol officer and spends some of his free time playing down in the park right next to a tunnel (for extra acoustics I guess). He was really good and didn't mind us snapping a few shots :) This was his way to relax and unwind he said :P
We got plenty cool shots yesterday, so there will be many more uploads in the coming days :)
EDIT: By the way; isn't 'didgeridoo' a fun word? Try saying it 3 times really fast! No really, try it!
Here I am presenting on behalf of LEGO Australia, some gifts to our overseas visitors from LEGO.
Kjeld, Jorgen V and Kathrine from LEGO.
There is a some symbolism on each of their own didgeridoos which relates directly to them and their jobs at LEGO.

These Australian wind instruments are really cool, and they sound great.

This guy was pretty talented, he would play the didgeridoo without taking a breather for a while, all whilst playing the djembe (thanks dmourati) and he had a bell on his hand too!
It took me a second pass to pluck up the courage to take his picture this close.
