About Me |

| "He was the first full-blood Aboriginal to make the trip to England since Bennelong went home with Philip 1792. " Rolf Harris "Blanasi is responsibal for bringing the didjeridu outside Australia, he is the one who once started the popularity for didjeridu amongst Balanda" L. W. "My father was famous all over the world, he was the Didjeridu Master" Darryl Dikarrna, White Cockatoo David Blanasi One of the most senior men in the region an co-funder of The White Cockatoo Performing Group was the mago (didjeridu) master Mr. David Blanasi. Mr. Blanasi travelled and performed extensively throughout the world for over three decades and brought the mago 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 continious drone of mago is syncopated in time with the songmen.
