First video of David Dharrapuy is up on YouTube.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmcHQF0SBUo[/youtube]

I made a mistake with David's Yolngu name, it should be Dharrapuy not Dharra'puy. You can read more about Dharrapuy in the accompanying comments in the YouTube clip by clicking on "Link".

A warm welcome David,

Had a good sleep and meal.

I do hope your stay with iDIDJ (Guan) will be a good experience. No worries Guan is taking good care. I'm really looking forward to have a chat and learn from your perspective view. For starters it's very nice to hear that your style off playing is different from what I'm used to hear. Very, very good tune.

Peter

Some info and pics...

The first image below is from www.manikay.com which shows listings of tracks featuring Darringguwuy and Bonguwuy. Darringguwuy is important because he was the father of Peter Walarri, Walarri being the main guy Dharrapuy learnt yidaki from. And Bonguwuy was Dharrapuy's father although he did not pass on his yidaki expertise to Dharrapuy.

The second pic is from Alice Moyle's "Songs of the Northern Territory" booklet, which shows a young Bonguwuy in 1963 playing yidaki for his uncle (ngapipi), Djanggubali.

The third pic is a recently made and painted yidaki by Dharrapuy with his Manharrngu mother's Djirrididi' design, the 4 colours of the Djan'kawu Sisters. This design is used as a body painting design by the Manharrngu people in the Nga:rra' ceremony - a ritual of the highest totemic order, much of it of a highly restricted/secret nature. This is the first time I've known a yidaki to be painted in this manner: a very special instrument indeed.

Well Guan this must lighten up your day's.

Truly wish I could sit there to in real live. You holding the camera me just listen and watch...............

Hi David,

How's your stay with Guan? Thanks for sharing your culture with us forum mob. I really enjoy your singing and Yidaki playing very much. Even when I can't understand your language and know so little about your culture. But for some reason something get's touched deeply inside of me. And can't help it but it gives me a big smile inside, just good feeling. So I do hope you tell us, sing us and play us more stories. Good luck with the workshop to morrow.

Cheers,
Peter

We could do a cyberspace one too, but I'm not sure how many people can be online at the same time. Does Skype allow multiple people on simultaneously?

I have no idea, I haven't setup my Skype account. If so, I need to get on it.
