=> Didgeridoo

The didgeridoo (also known as a didjeridu) is a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia around 1,500 years ago and still in widespread use today both in Australia and around the world. It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe". Musicologists classify it as a brass aerophone.[1]

There are no reliable sources stating the didgeridoo's exact age. Archaeological studies of rock art in Northern Australia suggest that the people of the Kakadu region of the Northern Territory have been using the didgeridoo for less than 1,000 years, based on the dating of paintings on cave walls and shelters from this period.[2] A clear rock painting in Ginga Wardelirrhmeng, on the northern edge of the Arnhem Land plateau, from the freshwater period[3] shows a didgeridoo player and two songmen participating in an Ubarr Ceremony.[4]

=> Yothu Yindi song - Macassan crew

Lyrics :www.lyrics.m106.com/s79914,Yot…

Yolngu people today tell the story of long and peaceful contact with the Macassans. This is evident in a number of song lyrics. The Wirrnga Band from Milingimbi produced ‘My Sweet Takirrina’ in 1990 celebrating that they were ‘trading goods and making better friendship … Macassan men – how brave they were’. In 1993 the Sunrize Band from Maningrida produced the bilingual Lembana Mani Mani singing ‘we commemorate and celebrate for those visitors from Macassar’ and Yirrkala’s Yothu Yindi also has a bilingual ‘Macassan Crew’ in its repertoire where the English text gives a general gloss on the history of Macassan visits (‘they came in peace through the Ashmore Reef ….. navigate the morning star, brave Macassan crew’), while the Yolngumatha passages make specific reference to Gatjing (Dayngatjing), again displaying the characteristic layers of meaning of Aboriginal cultural production.
