About the Performers
Djalu Gurruwiwi, born in 1931, is a senior leader of the Galpu clan whose homeland, Ngaypinya, lies a few kilometres inland from Caledon Bay. He is a yidaki player, maker and teacher of international renown who conducts annual masterclasses at the Garma Festival, and whose family company, Rripangu Yidaki (Thunder Didjeridu), has recently hosted a festival in Germany for European didjeridu enthusiasts. Djalu lives with his wife Dhopiya Yunupingu on her Gumatj homeland at Gunyangara. He is joined on this album by his son, Larrtjannga (yidaki, narration), and his sister, Dhanggal (narration).

About the Recording
This album features yidaki patterns for song items from three manikay series that are owned and passed from father to child within the Galpu clan. For each song item presented, the pattern is initially vocalised and then played with yidaki. This demonstrates the complex articulation and breathing techniques through which yidaki patterns are created and taught to others. Just as in a complete manikay series, the song items presented on this album are ordered by subject. Narration in both Yolngu-Matha and English is also included for the benefit of listeners.

Yothu Yindi Foundation
The Yothu Yindi Foundation (YYF) was established by Yolngu leaders in 1990 as a charitable organisation to promote global awareness of Yolngu culture and to foster economic self-determination for Yolngu communities. Each year since 1999, it has hosted the annual Garma Festival at Gulkula, including concerts, studio sessions, youth music workshops and, in 2002, a Symposium on Indigenous Performance at the Yirrnga Music Development Centre at Gunyangara.
