About Me |
|
This unique performing company comes from Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. The artists are a group of senior Aboriginal men from the Mialili, Rembarrnga, Guningu and Burrara language groups, who share the same social and family affiliations. Their country is the traditional birthplace and home of the Australian Aboriginal musical instrument, the Didjeridu. The company founder, didjeridu master David Blanasi, traveled extensively throughout the world for over three decades and it was he who brought the didjeridu to national and international prominence for the first time. His extraordinary virtuosity made him the 'free jazz' master of the Western Arnhem Land 'Gunborg' tradition, where the continuous drone of the didjeridu is syncopated in time with the songmen. In the years 1998-2001 Western Arnhem Land first lost songmaster Djoli Laiwanga (the Black Cockatoo) and then his didjeridu master David Blanasi (the White Cockatoo). Their corroboree was passed on to the songmasters Jack Nawilill and David Yirindilli. Jack and David have inherited these songs in what is one of the world's oldest unbroken artistic traditions. Despite the prominence of the didjeridu, it is the songmen who own and create the songs and decide what kind of accompaniment the didjeridu player will provide. Jack Nawilill and David Yirindilli have chosen Darryl Dikarrna Brown as their didjeridu accompanist and Darryl now proudly plays in the tradition of his late and great didjeridu master, David Blanasi, who is remembered every time the White Cockatoo Performing Group appear in Australia or around the world.
