Who am I?

Professionalism, quality of service and sharing, because my passion is also yours!

My name is Gregory Zwingelstein, also known as Kurungai or Djapana, Didgerdidoo/Yidaki player and multi-instrumentalist.

My encounter with the didgeridoo dates back to 1999. Since then, Australia has always been a dream, I have made it come true through numerous trips and my spirit has remained linked to this land and its inhabitants: the Aborigines.

I was adopted in August 2007 by Mirarra Burarrwanga, like his brother, I now have the right to apply the laws of the Gälpu and Gumatj clan. Mirarra gave me the name Djapana "sunset dreaming" or the dream of the sunset. Since 2007, my style of play has focused on what the Aborigines call the "right way", a very complex traditional game. To this day, after many trips and many months spent in communities in the North-East of Australia, I put at your service my experience and perspective on this ancestral culture!

Before offering the instruments for sale, I personally test them one by one and I draw up a descriptive sheet of their sound qualities and their characteristics. I thus bring you the confidence necessary for the purchase of your instrument.

Why Didgeridoo Passion? After several years of waiting and fruitless research on the internet, I decided in 2006 to create the Didgeridoo Passion website dedicated to the didgeridoo and Aboriginal art from northern Australia. Much more than a commercial site, this website is above all a mine of advice on discovery, maintenance, playability as well as an approach to culture and art. With the aim of fairness and quality. As its name indicates, the didgeridoo is a passion for me. I would rather specify the yidaki: "traditional" didgeridoo for the Yolngus Aboriginals of the north, and all the culture that comes from it.

Since November 2008, I have realized a project that has been close to my heart for a very long time: Live from my passion 100% and open the Didgeridoo Passion premises . Thus, provide you with a selection of the best Didgeridoos currently available on the market. For this and to better serve you, Didgeridoo Passion has partnered with the best Australian and French Didgemakers.
