Live didgeredoo

AUSTRALIA | Saturday, 2 February 2008 | Views [374]

We go to Frasers which is one of the other hostels in Rainbow beach. The band that's playing do some really good numbers. Then they start singing snoop doggy dog songs in the style of indie, which I thought was absolutely amazing. It sounded so funny. Jannine if you read this, you'll know what I mean.

I also heard a live didgeredoo for the first time. It was be played alongside the band and sounded absolutely fantastic. I really need to take more opportunities to listen to this, I would love to have a go playing myself. Although, I find out that in Aboriginal culture, women are not allowed to play the digeredoo and would be thrown out of the tribe it they did so, which I found really interesting. Aparently it would bring bad luck and prevent a woman from having children.
