DESCRIPTION:
This is an old video of songs and dances from Bamyili, a remote Aboriginal settlement in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. It was recorded sometime in the 1980s. The virtuoso didgeridoo player, the late David Blanasi, hailed from Bamyili and is recognised as the greatest mago player within living memory.
Blanasi teamed with songman Djoli Laiwanga to form a traditional Aboriginal dance troupe which toured Australia and overseas.
