Amazon.com People tend to think of the sound of the didjeridu as an odd buzzing sound, but this instrument is capable of a wide variety of sounds and textures. Nowhere is this more evident than on Seachnasaigh's Dharpa: Songs from the Dreamtime. The instrument chants on "Crocodile," dances at a rapid pace through "Love Chants," provides a bass line for "Gossip," and hums on "Dolphin." It shows an astounding dynamic range on "Tree" and "The Emu," and serves as a rhythmic pace setter throughout, accompanied at times by other percussion instruments and the human voice. On Dharpa the didjeridu's unique sound becomes enchanting, inviting the listener into another world. Who would have thought a single sound could have such an effect? --Genevieve Williams Product Description In Northeast Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, a group of Aboriginal people commonly referred to as Yolngu, have through their Dreamtime, created a Madayin (spiritual object) from the seed of a stringy bark tree. From this tree, the Didjeridu is made. The unmistakable Australian Didjeridu is played here by Will Seachnasaigh, one of only a handful of westerners to invited to share in the life, customs and beliefs of an Aboriginal family. This haunting instrument is rarely heard performed with as much intimacy, mastery, and understanding as it is here. Produced by Jorge Alfano.
