Offers Arnhem Land yirdaki, maintenance details, MP3 clips, information on Aboriginal culture, and a calendar of events.
iDIDJ Australia seeks to offer a central point for stakeholders and interested parties in coordinating efforts aimed at preserving the cultural integrity of one of Australia's most unique offerings to the world, the didgeridoo... Why? Because over 99% of didgeridoos you see in shops - in Australia and overseas - are NOT authentic didgeridoos...
The didgeridoo is an important part of the intangible cultural heritage of Australian Aboriginal groups from northern Australia. UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, defines intangible cultural heritage or living cultural heritage, as manifested, inter alia, in "... oral traditions, expressions and language; the performing arts; social practices, rituals, and festive events; knowledge and practices about nature and the universe; and traditional craftsmanship".
As Australia's Didgeridoo Cultural Hub, iDIDJ Australia is guided by the traditional Aboriginal owners and custodians of the didgeridoo in raising public awareness of the rich cultural traditions and significant heritage values of the didgeridoo. |
