Djalu plays and Teaches Yidaki. Volume 2
This album features yidaki patterns for song items from three manikay series that are owned and passed from father to child within the Galpu clan. For each song item presented, the pattern is initially vocalized and then played with yidaki. This demonstrates the complex articulation and breathing techniques through which yidaki patterns are created and taught to others. Narration in both Yolngu-Matha and English is included for the benefit of listeners, to know the stories of the songs. Djalu' first speaks in his own Galpu language, then his sister Dhanggal translates. Djalu's son Larry also plays on the CD.
