- Many of you, who are interested in the traditional yiḏaki of Northeast Arnhem Land might be familiar with Djoŋgirriny, the traditional didgeridoo held by the Gälpu clan. As we can read in the booklet: “Djoŋgirriny refers to a concept that have flowed together since ancestral times. Djoŋgirriny is a deep and powerful sound, a sacred place, an ancient song. It is the name of the first yiḏaki belonging to the Gälpu clan who have held its sound since time immemorial.”

- Jurtbirrk is a song genre from Croker Island and the adjacent area on the mainland, in Northwest Arnhem Land. The songs are composed and performed in the Iwaidja language, and inspired by love – affairs and intimate, even sexual relationship between men and women, one of the most common everyday topic in any culture. The sometimes cheeky songs help us to learn about the ‘love-life’ of the Aboriginal people of Northwest Arnhem Land. The Jurtbirrk songs usually composed by one person, performed by one to three men, accompanied by clapsticks (arrilil) and didgeridoo (ardawirr).

They were recorded by Elders in 1952…The old men have recorded these songs, so they can pass their stories and their knowledge to you younger generations. Listen the Dhuwa and Yirritja CDs and learn them…” Randjupi Munuŋgurr
