01
Gula Smoking Yiaga 0:00:18 After completion of new yiraga (didjeridu) Gula gathered twigs and green leaves and lit a fire. He held the didjeridu vertically above the fire so the smoke passed up the open end and out amberture. As he did, he slapped the amberture end with the palm of his hand so that it made a kind of echoing sound while he chanted.
