The didgeridoo (/ˌdɪdʒəriːˈduː/) (also known as a didjeridu) is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia potentially within the last 1,500 years and still in widespread use 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. Wikipedia
Had the good fortune to be in Stockholm just before Christmas. Obviously, Christmas lights and carols were part of the expectations. So I was truly thrown by the sounds of the Didgeridoo coming through and I just had to follow my ear to find the musician.
Found him.
Watching him I realized that not only do you have to play the instrument which calls for copious lung power but you also have a rattle with which you keep rhythm. Very, very complicated.
The Didgeridoo is such a simple concept; an empty tube that you exhale into, the vibration of your lips creating one key tone. So simple but this one key tone can be tremendous in depth.
As children we imitate and practice speaking, making complicated sounds with hundreds of muscles moving in coordination. These sounds are refined and can be pronounced with any range of emotion and emphasis without having to think about the complicated muscle action.
For anyone who is interested in learning to play the didgeridoo or is just starting out, have patience. Being patient is the number one key to becoming skilled at the didgeridoo. It took time to speak with a full vocabulary, and it will take time to build your didgeridoo sound escape.
My advice is to simply make the sounds you love to hear, practice and repeat. A friend told me once, “You’ll need 1% theory and 99% practice to become skilled with an instrument.” This couldn’t be truer with the didgeridoo. Have patience and practice, practice, practice and practice some more. Over time you’ll develop muscle memorization for the didgeridoo and find that sounds that once seemed difficult or even impossible become as easy as conversation.

El didgeridoo se representó ya en pinturas rupestres de Australia hace más de 2.000 años. Instrumentos similares de viento que simplemente amplifican los sonidos modulados normalmente por labios y lengua se encuentran en otras regiones del mundo, muy especialmente en la Europa central y oriental. Así el alforn o cuerno de los Alpes (aunque éstos tienen ya mucha sofisticación) o el bucium rumano. Parece que el destino de este instrumento ancestral era básicamente de llamada, de comunicación con otros humanos para avisar de algún acontecimiento o con rebaños de animales que pastaban en los montes; incluso llega a ponerse en los labios de los ángeles en las pinturas cuando éstos transmiten sus mensajes. Se habla, según las fuentes, de un origen en el norte de Asia o en el pueblo dacio, pero todas estas opciones quedan cuestionadas por su existencia ya en las citadas pinturas de Australia. Excepto, claro, que sus orígenes sean diversos y no dependan los unos de los otros. De hasta tres metros de largo para conseguir mayor gravedad del sonido, escucharlo es un retroceso en el tiempo y mucho tiene de relajante su primitivismo. Me gusta pensar que, probablemente, el hombre estaba descubriendo la música.
The Didgeridoo (didjeridu) is a musical instrument of Australia. It has some similarity to bamboo trumpets. The characteristic feature of Didgeridoos - a slightly flaring wooden tube about 1.5 metres in length is that it is hollowed out by natural termites. White-ants take around 100 years to complete hollowing the trunk. After cutting down, the hollow trunk is cleaned out with a stick, the outside refined by scraping and then painted with traditional designs, and the blowing end smoothed by adding a rim of beeswax.

Here a big shop for aboriginal culture in Australia, i play all the Didgeridoos and see many other sacred instrument. A mi espalda una coleccion de Didgeridoos Australianos aborigenes para venta; esta tienda en Sydney tambien cuenta con innumerables boomerangs, flags y otros articulos tradicional Aborigen, por 'esas cosas de la vida' la mujer que atiende esta tienda y los owner de la tienda me conocian, hermosas personas.
Regards to Caroline and the portuguese women of the shop.

The FGR group of the day is "Oz", meaning if we wanted to play along, we had to do an Australia-themed picture. Luckily for me, Trish and I went on a trip to Australia a few years ago and I bought a didgeridoo. Perfect!
Also, HBW!
