We’re here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines，who are native to Australia. The Aboriginal population might be small，but its influence is still visible. For example，“Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”. To survive in this vast land on the ocean，the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature. This shows in their music，too，which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground，among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo. Blog.3 3 Oct Aborigines and the didgeridoo The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow. To play the didgeridoo，you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn，there are no finger holes. The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch. A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe. He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo. I tried to learn how to play it，but after trying for hours，I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this instrument! Blog.3 3 Oct Aborigines and the didgeridoo 2.What’s the main theme reflected in aboriginal music and why? It celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. To survive in this vast land on the ocean, the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature.
