Yidaki lesson with the powerful Larry Gurruwiwi

In 2019 Larry, Vernon and Jason Gurruwiwi toured Europe. I took an 11 hour round trip to travel to Wales to take a lesson with him. These rhythm sequences hold many of the tools one needs to learn if they have embarked on the journey to try to learn traditional Yolngu Yidaki style. It calls to something ancient in my soul and I am eternally grateful to these people for sharing their culture with us Balanda! My life would be poorer for not having discovered it. For a long time, I only shared the video privately as I didn’t wish to clash with any future teaching cd of Larry’s. But we had a chat this morning and he said it’s fine to share it on youtube. He’s a great and generous ambassador for the Yolngu people, as their culture is a wonderful conduit for any soul searching to reconnect with nature. I hope that studying this video will speed up your learning process and add to the joy in your life. My respects to the Yolngu people and the Gurruwiwwi family. Manymak!
