Podcast | Series on Australian Aborigines
Ten episodes to discover the culture of Aboriginal Australians, the people who carried the didgeridoo through the ages.
I recorded this podcast series with Gauthier Aubé from Wakademy. We explore the major themes of this culture, tens of thousands of years old: its history, its mythology, the place of the didgeridoo in the communities and traditional playing.
The episodes are in French.
