You are truly one of my favorite didgeridoo players and I love your rhythm! Me gusta especialmente la ultima parte de tu video, tiene un ritmo realmente agradable! Gracias por mostrarnos como tocar este maravilloso instrumento.
in my culture (aboriginal) there is a curse upon women if they play the didgeridoo, this tale of the curse dates back so far as to the dreamtime. I have respect for women and think that if they want to play the instrument go for it! its really fun to play and you can easily get lost in the moment.
Why? I'm curious. Thanks in advance if you know more about the history in this regard. I know little about the role of women in general in the Australian aboriginal culture.
Patrick LastName Its becouse to less woamen play the didge! But they other conditions becouse of theyr higher voice (wich meinst the can make other Sounds )
CONGRATS for your original composition both excellent for listening and therapy.... Agustina , you are a wonderful woman artist, a lot better than all the men I heard play the didgeridoo so far! Muchas Gracias por existir!
im laughing at all the hate coments about how she is cursed and women are not allowed to play the didgeridoo. like they cant stand the fact that she plays it so well. patriarchy is real my friends and so sad. hate does nothing but stop spiritual growth.
One of the coolest musical instruments! Have heard this sampled on some electronic music tracks, otherwise I would probably never know about this instrument.
Ostia y yo k pensaba k sabia tocar.... Puffff k disparate!!!!! Yo uso 1 de bambú y yo creo k hay sonidos k no puedo hacer x el material... Tengo k pillarme uno de esos d eucalipto xk suena como Dios!!!! Bueno mejor dicho lo haces sonar!!!! Eres increíble chica
Za mě úchvatný dojem nějaký čas pracuji na vlastním stylu osobně bych docenil i nějaké video vhodné pro výuku stylu který evidentně ovládáte užívám nástroj laděný na klíč F
I totally respect the indigenous culture of Australia, but not allowing females to play an instrument is offensive to all mankind, especially when you can see that they bring so much to the party. I still haven't heard a valid reason to why they can't. This woman rocks!
That law was written over 40000 years ago. Aboriginal culture, the oldest around, was only discovered by "Euro's" 230 ish years ago. It was a tribal decision, not based on modernity. It should be respected still as the original occupants of this land still maintain that belief. Cultural appropriation is the weakest argument, but should hold true.
Nadeem Aslam if you respect indigenous Australia so much maybe you should learn about it and you'll know the answer. The didgeridoo is a sacred instrument. Not used for dubstep. A lady which I do respect should not lay her lips on a didgeridoo. It is a rule since the dream time and white people should not have the rights to change these rules. It is a spiritual instrument only for the men. You can say it's sexist but it is a rule
Cher Monroe the didgeridoo is an instrument used for ceremonies. Not for fun. but if you want to play something from a culture you better respect its rules. You don't even know where the didgeridoo comes from. You'll probably look it up. You'll probably say it's from Australia which it is but which part of Australia? You should probably research first before you tell me what to do.
Sorry, but the didge is no longer purely a tribal instrument. If it was, we wouldn't have ones made out of metal or PVC. It is used as a contemporary instrument, as well as a tribal one, and none of its uses should be discouraged in favor of another.
I suppose 2 women joined the thumbs down list since then? or are we sticking to men, cause I've learned that females tend to hate other females. . . but I'll play along i guess. In my opinion 9 people didn't like it, but that is not a good point of view is it?
1) make your mouth "big" in all the ways. your throat is open cheeks are puffed 2) make your lips press very lightly on the didge rim. if you press strongly you can't get the undertone cheers!
Check out the so called dropped octave technique. that's what she's doing. I'll be honest and say it sounds less fartsy on a higher pitched instrument.
If she was using a cultural artifact with the specific intent to blaspheme upon and make a mockery of your rituals, then maybe you could take offense. Those who seek to use this horn as a musical instrument are not at odds with aboriginal cultures who use it as a religious chanting device. To think your culture owns wooden horns in any shape or form they might take is completely ridiculous.You own what you hold onto and believe in, but music belongs to the world and was never yours to have to yourselves.
Aboriginal culture is to be respected, not commercialized and disrespected! Women are not meant to play this sacred instrument!! It is obvious that people don't know anything about Aboriginal cultural heritage. TEDZ Talks shame on the management!! Agustina Mosca, stop playing and disrespecting our cultural beliefs.
Hi John I have met players from the first nations of your country who appreciate the awareness that the instrument promotes globally about the colonial past. The well of sorrow is deep indeed! And yet most regard the global reach of this sound as beneficial to publicise the awful truths by opening peoples minds and interest in your culture. Respectfully Chris
I am an Indigenous First Nations Cultural Ambassador from the Wakka Wakka / Yolngu First nations, Australia. My Message is to the TEDX management who invited and allowed a Women by the name of Agustina Mosca to play the didgeridoo (non-indigenous name) to play on TEDx. The is not a toy or souvenir for women to commercially profit from, which is exactly what she is doing. (YIDAKI) is part of ancient ceremony's handed by by our elders and family over thousands of years; it is NOT!! for women to play, TEDx is disrespecting Indigenous people of Australia , so is the player.. who knows nothing about our culture practice. :/ There is no cultural practice of Indigenous women in Australia who play... Never happened and our women are proud and respectful of cultural beliefs ! It is really disrespectful allowing that and portraying it as if it is ok!! :/ Typical uneducated and ignorant foreigners who think they can take and use Indigenous culture and use it for their own greed, ego and benefit...
+John Smith Gumbula Mr. Gumbula, I understand your dismay at the appropriation of your culture by Westerners - it's a theme in life. Can you please enlighten us as why women were prohibited from playing? Also, I can offer you this: Yoga in India was something only for the men to do, but it is now a global phenomenon due to the adoption by western women. Although westerners have stripped the main aspect of yoga, the spiritual part, and perverted and monetized it, I think overall the net effect is beneficial that Yoga and an aspect of Indian culture has spread throughout the world. These women who play are not perverting Aborginal culture. They are gaining fame and money, but they are also spreading knowledge about your people and culture, and sparking interest in them. In the end, I think that is a good thing.
***** Not a good comparison since Gumbula is speaking to a cultural tradition based on a religous rite. A more apt example would be Indian yogis condemning women for doing yoga (In ancient India, yoga was only meant to be done by men). But Indians in general liberalized their position. But I agree Gumbala/aboriginal thought need to liberalize on this matter because his/their position on this matter in the day and age will not help grow a beneficial understanding of their culture.
there is freedom in my culture, where i can choose to respect you or not. but i choose to respect, to have respect too. Your culture and history is beautifull, but what makes that beauty is the differents bettewen others and how complex things are. And makes me unhappy knowing that some culture dont agree to share their wisdom thought music. Im from a different culture, and i truly want to learn didgeridoo, and i will. i have been loving didgeridoo for so many years. Im a woman and i have the right to play an instrument that comes from earth, my and our earth. :)
+Ronald Tatum exactly :D It sounded like we has tryin to sue TedX :D sayin that the girl is using it for her greed, while i smell the greed in his words. How come people get offensed by this and not by what is really killing our world, the world economy and the great multinational corporations for example......... At least she's showing and doing something nice who recall the nature and it's values :)
+Frolomoopa At first do not talk about things which you do not know. I am an Indian who does practice yoga traditionally and knows the history from the traditional perspective. Yoga was never meant only for men and your statement that western women had adopted it thats why women practice it now is nonsense. I dont want to generalize but what most western women practice is not really yoga its the physical postures, some use to glamorize themself which is not actually yoga meant for. Coming back to the point, yoga is been practiced by women in india for thousands of years. literally thousands of years. There are numerous sages who were women. That too in the exterme yogic sect which is known as Naga, there are/were numerous female yoginis who had existed and practised the "real yoga" (not just asanas) and attained liberation. Even now if you come to india you will find a lot of yoginis. Infact in yoga there is no concept of men and women, so traditionally if one does yoga there is not even a chance for them to see this difference. There is only life. And you are saying people who practice such culture had discriminated against women. What you see and think of world is just your reflection of what you are inside!! Please please please do not talk things you do not know for real. P.S:Educate yourself with right resources. Reading crap and shitting crap had become trend these days. www.elephantjournal.com/2010/10/dispelling-one-big-myth-about-women-and-yoga-ramesh-bjonnes/
First of all she shouldn't be playing the yidaki! It is an Intrument used only by men in my culture, and befor anybody decided to say it's sexist ect blah, it is not! In our culture their are certain things that are strictly men's business and things that are strictly woman's business like cultural stories and certain practices including playing the yidaki. secondly this is NOT appealing to listen to, she isn't playing it very well at all and the electronic over tone sounds ridiculous! The dig is meant to sound earthy not inhanced by electronic devices.
Bravo! Absolutely hypnotic. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the finest control and tonal quality I've ever heard from this instrument. Much gusto
You are truly one of my favorite didgeridoo players and I love your rhythm! Me gusta especialmente la ultima parte de tu video, tiene un ritmo realmente agradable! Gracias por mostrarnos como tocar este maravilloso instrumento.
Tremenda insterpretacion! Agustina es una inspiracion ejecutando el didge y una bella mujer desde adentro hacia afuera. Mis honores a ti maestra.
in my culture (aboriginal) there is a curse upon women if they play the didgeridoo, this tale of the curse dates back so far as to the dreamtime. I have respect for women and think that if they want to play the instrument go for it! its really fun to play and you can easily get lost in the moment.
Sir Swag this is true ive heard this from many aboriginal people.
because its true,. no woman should EVER touch a didg let alone play one
Why? I'm curious. Thanks in advance if you know more about the history in this regard. I know little about the role of women in general in the Australian aboriginal culture.
I heard the vibrations are bad for the ovaries of women that is why they shouldn't play.
Sir Swag you guys are just scared that she's better than any of your players. Lol
Very powerful performance!! I especially like the last composition. You are what contemporary didgeridoo playing is all about!!
Really enjoyed the playing here! beautiful and hypnotic rhythms with clear notes!
bravo to you agustina! thank you for sharing to the world your talent!
Me encanta tu música Agustina. Buen ritmo.
Agustina, it was so great to became acquainted with eatch other during Swizzeridoo tomes and of course your Klangkeller Bern events!
Wow, this woman is an excellent player. She gets sounds out of the didge I had never heard before.
Patrick LastName Its becouse to less woamen play the didge! But they other conditions becouse of theyr higher voice (wich meinst the can make other Sounds )
Hermosaaaaa que mujer más tesa para tocar. 🤘🏼
Impresionante !!!
increible!! y los silencios bellos.....
Nice rhythm. Drop octave as well, good job!
CONGRATS for your original composition both excellent for listening and therapy.... Agustina , you are a wonderful woman artist, a lot better than all the men I heard play the didgeridoo so far! Muchas Gracias por existir!

Guau que bien lo hace👍👍👍👍
So great wonderful Augustina
Mesmerising
One of the coolest musical instruments! Have heard this sampled on some electronic music tracks, otherwise I would probably never know about this instrument.
Awesome talent! Thanks you for sharing.
Agustina Mosca , demais , legal , fantástico
Didgeridoo and Jaw Harp music is like earth and nature so connected

my Spanish is out of practice, what does this Lady say?
John, lo siento por ti... (Augustina... Molas!)
When she spoke, my first question was 'what language is that she's speaking', with an Australian accent?
Castellano.

black fellas should be proud people from all ova the world want to play the instrument they invented where all human jus happens we look different
Don't have your title in another language as the entire video.
Didgeridoo
7 men were jealous of her skill.
We are not jealous this is our lore every culture has there own customs
I suppose 2 women joined the thumbs down list since then? or are we sticking to men, cause I've learned that females tend to hate other females. . . but I'll play along i guess. In my opinion 9 people didn't like it, but that is not a good point of view is it?
You're an idiot.
Thomas Roe are you aboriginal? (Asking in a nice way) because I have been brought up with the same lore.
7 million?
I have to find out how she makes that deeper sound
1) make your mouth "big" in all the ways. your throat is open cheeks are puffed
2) make your lips press very lightly on the didge rim. if you press strongly you can't get the undertone
cheers!
Check out the so called dropped octave technique. that's what she's doing. I'll be honest and say it sounds less fartsy on a higher pitched instrument.
she got some skilz
Girls can't play the didgeridoo it's not aloud in aboriginal culture this wrong but it's good she can play it
+Kodiak Bush fortunately in this day and age on one really gives a shit
are you a muslim ?
La civilización aborigen? Aha... Mozo, la cuenta por favor...

CitizenLach Thank you!! Finally, someone who understands both sides of the situation
Do you understand the soul? No, free yourself, and have a good laugh.kkkkkkkkk

Yeah, I bet that " curse" was to discourage women to play the didgeridoo because men
can't handle the fact that women can be as good!!!
Yesenia Smith i don't think that's why, but here's a gold star for trying. 🌟
