Sooner or later when travelling in Australia you will come in contact with a didgeridoo. It is a musical instrument, obviously woodwind, which is played by using a technique called circular breathing. Circular breathing basically involves sniffing in air (quickly) at the same time as exhaling air through the mouth. Once the realm of native Australians (aborigines) didgeridoos are now often heard in combination with other instruments in world music right through to rock music. You can buy didgeridoos in almost any tourist shop and most aboriginal speciality shops. As many are over five feet long, a real pain for air plane transportation, cut off versions are also available. Listen to the following song performed by the Australian group Rivertribe to discover what some can do with didgeridoos.
