Didgeridoo

 If you love music, then Didgeridoo is the perfect gift to take home. It is a 1500-year-old traditional aboriginal wind instrument that consists of a long wooden “pipe” with a mouthpiece made of wax. It should be hollowed out by termites.

🇦🇺️Aussie Customs & Traditions.🇦🇺️ The Aboriginal didgeridoo is an extremely fascinating instrument with a particular yet very distinctive sound. The didgeridoo is probably the world's oldest musical instrument, dating back to 40,000 years ago. Originally it was made from Eucalyptus tree trucks, hollowed out by termites, or from bamboo, while today it can be made using different materials. In the same way, his primary function was as accompaniment to chants and dances, during aboriginal ceremonies, while today its sound can be heard in any kind of music, from rock to techno, as it is owned and played by many people all around the world. The name “didgeridoo” itself is not an aboriginal name: it was given to the instrument by the Europeans around 100 years ago. • • #letsgoplanet #letstravel #australia #didgeridoo #instrument #aboriginal #aboriginaldidgeridoo #aboriginalmusic #aboriginaltraditions #aboriginalculture #australianaboriginals #originalautralia #music #culture #history #customsandtraditions #aussie #australiantraditions #aussietraditions #visitaustralia #autraliaoutback #fascinatingaustralia #outback #redcentre #northernterritory #australianhistory #aboriginalofaustralia #travelaustraliana #backpacker #backpackerlifestyle
