You have to be able to do circular breathing (breathing in and out at the same time) to create the continuous sound of the didgeridoo. This takes a lot of talent to be as good as him.
It's not quite breathing in and out at the same time.... it's more breathing in through the nose and squeezing the air in your mouth/cheeks out your mouth. You can kinda try this with water (though with water it is easy) fill your mouth with water, breathe in through your nose while squeezing your cheeks to expel the water. I'm not indigenous but I was taught a little bit when I was a kid but the guy got uncomfortable cos I'm female (maybe someone said something) so the rest I taught myself...... I am nowhere near this guy's level though, absolutely not!
Circular breathing requires breathing in through nose while blowing out through mouth - difficult to master. I often use his songs for my morning alarm on my phone as a soothing sound to wake up to.
I've seen him live at my work and he's playing there again in a month or so. It's in Fremantle WA, it's outdoor and holds about 2500 people. He is a really amazing talent. ☮️
"Let me be" was huge for a deservedly long time back in the early-mid 2000's. I was fortunate enough to see him perform live at Falls Festival nye 2002-2003 as a 13 year old, and it is something that I'll never forget. He is an absolute legend in every way, and a music festival wouldn't be the same here in Australia without him.
Mate, in relation to him doing street performance, he’s touring Denmark, Belgium and America this year, so I doubt he will factor Street performances into his schedule 😀😀👍
Xavier Rudd is awesome. So glad you played him without too much interruption. Thank you. First saw him 20 years ago with my then 16 year old daughter. Street performer???? NO. Huge following and recording contracts. YES
Xavier Rudd is the 'GOAT'. It takes special skills to play the Didaeridoo, then, to incorporate other instruments as well is amazing. (GOAT - Greatest of all Time).
That sound is a whip bird, obviously on a tap/recording. A lot of our musicians, obviously celebrate our uniqueness, often influenced by the surf culture and our rain forests and villages within, which are also quite often very close to our oceans.
If your into music, you you should check out some of best.John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes the Bee Gees started their career when they emigrated here. That’s just a few but we are over looked when people around world think we’re just this quiet little country couldn’t possibly have some of the greatest music in the world but I’m here to tell you we have some incredible talent that has come out of Australia.🎼🇦🇺
His background is he is a part of the "stolen generation", so he didn't know his Aboriginal grandparents due to them being abducted and assimilated by a colonial family. So he still has the music in his blood. He is very talented and for USA viewers, he will be playing soon in California May. 24 - 26, 2024 California Roots Festival 2024, Google it to make bookings, he's not hard to find
Thank you for reacting, slow on the uptake for me - am a terrible Aussie. Amazing musician incorporating various instruments. Anyways, he will be performing in Fiji in Oct this year which is a jump'n hop away - planning to go. Very ethereal sounds, nothing like a didgeridoo vibrating through your bones.
A Didge player, whom just returned from London, playing with Philharmonic Orchestra, told of Harbour Master asking him not to play the Didge near Sydney Harbour because it’s upsetting the Ship Captains at Sea. Miles out to Sea. Brilliant communication devise.
My cousin was (in the 80’s) one of the few white men who could (was well taught) play the didgeridoo properly. The basic sound isn’t that hard, but making it sing like Craig could & Xavier does takes training & a lot of talent. Plus the circular breathing isn’t easy, though I hear some trumpet players can do it.
it's easy enough to make a didgeridoo noise the hard part is doing it constantly using circular breathing, then add in the extra noises and it's another level of hard.
Didgeridoo is a name given by Scottish explorers, based on the sound they thought it made, there are several names, depending on language Aboriginal people speak, such as Yidaki, which is what call them
Wow! Xavier! So talented. { Just thinking about the legendary Phil Collins - everyone lauded as extra-talented because he can sing & play drums at the same time... } Also pondering... Could it be that playing the Didg, and making all those rhythmic and animal and other nature sounds, ( a 60,000+ year old Art Form } was / is the original Beat Boxing!!!??? 🤣😆
that's a backing recording of a whip bird . czcams.com/video/bH5gH_WEYSY/video.htmlsi=i5ov8Vz9m2_y3fUX go for a walk in the bush and you will hear them. another unique bird sound we have in the ranges is a bell bird czcams.com/video/VZ_ku7MyE7w/video.htmlsi=IUXf_rygtXmt37LN
indigenous only instrument. a white gentleman may possibly use didgeridoo (Didjeridu) if an indigenous arnhem land male representative is on site too and gives blessing to use. bamboo was once used instead of hollowed out tree limb. * just important, relevant things i remember being taught in my school years (1979 - 1991) it’s certainly a sight to behold and hear. ☺️😊😃 ✌🏻🇦🇺🌏🤘🏻
As far as im aware, the basic sound is a raspberry. You can try it through any tube, preferably one at least a yard long. Put your lips on the tube and blow a raspberry into it.
Putting it in it's basic terms yes, but not really. The sound is a combination of throat sounds & mouth sounds. Plus the fact you have to circular breath, in through the nose, while breathing out the mouth. To make more sounds, you have to use your voice box, like your beatboxing. It's also bad juju for females to play & it's originally only played by a small number of mobs.
If u close your eyes while listenin to the didg its even more amazing I ve bn blessed that N amazing local elder pic up a vaccuum hose an started playin i shut my eyes N could tell which animal he was doing. Absolutely amazing
Ryan, "didgeridoo" is an an ENGLISH onomatopoeic word, not an Aboriginal one, nor is kangaroo for that matter... The instrument has many names depending on the languages spoken, but the most popular one is YIDAKI, from the far north where it was said to have originated.
It's originally only played by a small number of mobs. Females & some mobs it's bad juju & frowned upon to play. In the south of the country, it's hard to find suitable tree to make Didge's.
@@shaneb4612I remember the controversy a few years back when Nicole Kidman tried to play one. The belief is that playing a Yidaki will make a woman infertile.
@@jackvos8047 Yer mate, I remember the incident too. It was completely frowned upon by a lot of mobs. I'm from Aboriginal descendants, on my dad's side. My mother is white/anglo. My cousin who's parents are/were both Aboriginal. He was angry, he went on a massive rant. He said that "How could she play our instrument. Woman are taboo from playing it & it shows a complete lack of respect for our traditional customs". It's still considered part of our Aboriginal law, well, for most of the mobs out there. Some mobs don't give a shit, if a white woman plays it. Others like my cousin were just plain old angry. Sorry for the story. Gather around kiddies, it's story time with Shaneb4612.

I’m surprised someone was willing to teach him. I can tell at least some of his teachers were indigenous Australians
Liked your explanation. I was going to say something about the in and out motions of breath but you came up with a much clearer way of expressing it.

Thanks for the additional information. It's not something I could master and admire those who can. @@Shado_wolf
Wow. Never heard of him. You’ve educated an Aussie. Amazing performance.
Welcome to the Xavier rudd music library. So much to experience
Welcome to the Xavier Rudd appreciation club
Circular breathing requires breathing in through nose while blowing out through mouth - difficult to master. I often use his songs for my morning alarm on my phone as a soothing sound to wake up to.

You’re hearing the sound of the whip bird, very common in the bush. He’s really super talented.
Xavier is brilliant, hugely talented. Some fantastic songs.
That noise you were picking out is an Australian whip bird. Sounds like a backing track with a few other birds e.g. kookaburras
"Let me be" was huge for a deservedly long time back in the early-mid 2000's.
I was fortunate enough to see him perform live at Falls Festival nye 2002-2003 as a 13 year old, and it is something that I'll never forget.

G’day Ryan 🙋♀️ you have to be very skilled to play a Didgeridoo, most Aussie including me cannot play a Didgeridoo 😢 🇦🇺
I can get the sound, but still haven't mastered that cyclic breathing technique.
It's the left and right sides doing different things that blows my mind
Now you have to watch Mitch Tambo...another indigenous artist
Yes he is, but Xavier Rudd is not Indigenous...
King Stingray is another deadly indigenous artist.
@@paulhunt3307I agree although he claims to be of Aboriginal, Irish and Scottish heritage
Xavier Rudd is awesome. So glad you played him without too much interruption. Thank you. First saw him 20 years ago with my then 16 year old daughter. Street performer???? NO. Huge following and recording contracts. YES
it's the eastern whip bird you can hear, it takes both the male and female to generate the whip crack...one of the most iconic sounds of the forest.
Watching Xavier performing this song was one of the best I’ve seen live! I cried, it got me.
Xavier Rudd is the 'GOAT'. It takes special skills to play the Didaeridoo, then, to incorporate other instruments as well is amazing. (GOAT - Greatest of all Time).
*Didgeridoo
Hey Ryan, as an aussie i love ur passion for all things Australian ❤
Seen Xavier Rudd live a few times. He's brilliant to watch up close...
That sound is a whip bird, obviously on a tap/recording. A lot of our musicians, obviously celebrate our uniqueness, often influenced by the surf culture and our rain forests and villages within, which are also quite often very close to our oceans.

Another one of Australia's great didgeridoo musicians is David Hudson, you shoulkd be able to find his music here on CZcams.
I saw this guy a couple of years ago. An amazing talent.
Xavier Rudd is brilliant! He's a regular on my playlists
Im an Aussie but first time ive seen or heard of Xavier Rudd.

Note the Sea Shephard flag behind him, a clue that he is committed to the Environment and GreenPeace

This reminds me so much of Gondwanaland. Just missing the keys. Only this is one man as opposed to 3.
Didgeridoo is a name given by Scottish explorers, based on the sound they thought it made, there are several names, depending on language Aboriginal people speak, such as Yidaki, which is what call them
The didgeridoo is very hard to play, breath control has to be on point , he’s just making it look easy 😁 extremely talented individual
Thats a whipping bird and its being played as the kookaburra is over the top
He has also played with Dave Matthews band if you heard of them, they American band lol
That's us down here 🇦🇺 🎶🥁
Its called circular breathing, Ryan....not easy to master...So doing those three things at the same time, not easy!
it's as easy as squirting water as you breathe in, which is super easy
I like his video playing on the train. 🔥
Wow! Xavier! So talented. { Just thinking about the legendary Phil Collins - everyone lauded as extra-talented because he can sing & play drums at the same time... }

Imagine that sound 50,000 years ago.
Xavier is awesome. I’ve seen him play at a couple of festivals.
You should check out "FINGERS" Mitchell Cullen. We seen him in our country town li e and he is amazing
I think the bird sounds are recordings…. He might be playing them off a loop.
When you have a fully funded lifestyle, smoke heaps and have all day too practice,,, you too could be this good......
To see the biggest/best entertainers from Australia look at AC/DC at Riverplate , biggest crowd ever .
He probably doesn't know who AC DC are never mind they are from Australia.
How talented.

He still going ,well
How many different rhythms and sounds is he making
Please react to Ren, Hi Ren. British artist, it’s unbelievable. ❤️
Resonates so much, connection to earth.

@@shaneb4612 Yes, I just meant the first basic sound, just for Ryan to get an idea 🙂
@@elizabeth10392 Sorry I didn't mean to mansplain, it wasn't intentional. I do apologise for my mansplaining. 🙏
@@shaneb4612 S'okay 😁
Circular breathing… hard to learn.. useful tool when getting intimate…
I see the sea shepherd flag there
👍👍👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏👍
😎👍😍🤩😊🥰
With the insturments and the "flag" I'd say this was all the indigineous people in the land with free tickets.
Hmmm. Xavier is Indigenous but this was filmed at a concert in Colorado USA. No ‘free tickets’ or whatever you’re insinuating.
No surprise to us just rest of world notice m9st of crowd is white.
Sorry, all my family are musical, this is simply trained breathing! I would prefer to hear bagpipes! 🙁
Didgeridoo playing....over rated, repetitive and ultimately boring.
Well you can't plese everyone!
I love it. It sings to my soul ❣️ I'm not a First Nations person but it gets me every time
I hear elephants love it! 😄
You r a sad dude
@@helenthompson5532 It is boring if you love music, and overused these days, you cannot avoid it anywhere!
If u close your eyes while listenin to the didg its even more amazing
