Marimunuk Gurruwiwi giving yidaki tuition in Arnhem Land
This is part of what you will experience on eco-cultural tours to Arnhem Land. I helped organise a study tour for Francois from France, and Ryohei and Tenshi from Japan, who wished to meet Djalu and to learn something of Yolngu culture... and proper traditional yidaki playing of course!
Marimunuk here gives tuition to Francois, Ryohei and Tenshi. Marimunuk's enthusiasm is infectious. This guy has so much energy, so much life force, it seems he might explode because of it!
It was the first time in Arnhem Land for Francois, Ryohei and Tenshi and the traditional rhythms a challenge. Ryohei had been practising a lot prior to this trip, and picked up very quickly when listening to Marimunuk, Djalu, Winiwini, Laga and other Yolngu yidaki players who gave us their time. Francois and Tenshi made good progress and changed from being purely contemporary players to resembling traditional style by the end of the trip. Good job guys!
The next big project I am helping to organise is Djalu's Rripangu Yirdaki Masterclass 2008. See the iDIDJ Forum for details:
