Thursday Challenge “MUSIC” (Bands, Musicians, Instruments, iPod, Headset,…)
I took this picture of this young man playing the traditional australian Didgeridoo
Didgeridoo Player
right on the pier at the sydney opera house .. The music was beautiful , after a few seconds it actually was soothing and nice and calm …
interesting…
Thank you..
I think traditional instruments have their own charm. I am really impressed with the ones that are available in India. I wish that more people start appreciating all kinds of music instead of just listening to loud drums/ beats and Guitars.
Destination Infinity
Very true DI, india has a vast majority of traditional instruements but they are sadly dieing a slow death…
i am with you hope people realise to save thse traditional instruemnts then run after the ones which are more of a NOISE..
Thank you
Very true.. we can only see the foreigners appreciating them in the 5 star hotels.
yes you are right .. what you say we indians are fogeting it all our tradion and one day all that will elope toooo
Ditto. I agree with DI about the traditional music and instruments bit. But what IS this thing…er…hickery-dickery-dock??
I need to look it up!
Me too
it is a traditional australian instruemnts , used by the Aboriginals …
YEs do look them up they make a lovely sound…. I bought a couple when i was there .. jsut need to leanr how to play them then ..
nice! something very different. and i learned something new today – Didgeridoo – will go and research more on it’s history
yeah it is different and they are os beautiul too, lovely colours and hand crafted tooo .. Thank you.
this is such a lovely capture Bikky!!
Thank you Deepak sir…
I can image that you’ve enjoyed it after getting used to the sound…
Oh yes I loved it , we were in a group and danced to the music tooo
thanks good to see you here…
Didgeridoo looks more like extended version of “Flute” and sarcastically it looks like a “Hookah”.
it does look like a extended flute …
Traditional instruments have a charm of their own. No wonder oldies will always remain goldies.
yes they do. oldies will always remain goldies ..but one day today will be old for this generation in a few years to come os it will be goldies for them what is happening now
Terrific instrument.
Thank you and welcome here ..
wow! Quite interesting… and colourful!
I have never seen this instrument! Must be sounding like Pt. Chaurasia’s flute…he uses thick flute too, sometimes.
The designs on the player’s body is interesting!
YEah it looks like a flute only at a bigger scale.
yeah the aboriginals use to put paint on themselves , i dont know what the idea or meaning was behind that …
oh..love these pictures..
Thank you sirrrrrrrr
I was hoping it to be a video than a photograph,so that I could also have the pleasure of listening to it.

Having said that, this is a stunning photograph.. a very national geographic moment here.

They sit at Circular Quay quite often and play the digeridoo…it’s quite nice, isn’t it? I think the first time I heard it though was in Dil Chahta Hai. Nice pic!
It is lovely we spent a lot of time there that day , visitng the opera hosue and the bridge and the park there .. good day out … had fun and enjoyed
and also did the BOAT the speed boat it was a OH MY GOD moment ..
there are so many different type of music instruments…..ealier in 70′s I saw many people playing different things in any square and others enjoying it..now-a days also I see some but with electronic systems, and playing in the hope that they get noticed by some eminent person to get some work.
YEah now adays its mostly electronic though some people really play it very nicely yet .. its not the same ..
Thank you …
My God! Those instruments are so beautiful they are almost art. The world is so rich in traditions and so full of mysteries that it seems several lifetimes of learning can still not be enough.
Yeah they were beautful we went to this Aboriginal measuem to see art by them it was mind blowing , pity they dont get the look they are so much better then the so called modern artists …
YEah so many traditions not enough time true true …
Sypuerb take on the theme!
Oh I meant “Superb”!
YEs Mam I got you first time
yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)
Wonderful picture, Bikram!! I remember once seeing similar instruments being played by some artists at the pier in San Francisco.. and like you said, it was so sooothing to be just there, listening to it… I mean, people were walking around these artists, and yet, they were so immersed in playing this amazing music.. watching them play in itself was very relaxing…
Thank you Kavita. YEah same here this guy was so engrossed we were sitting taking snaps and all , some toursits were dancing .. and the horns of the Boats tooo
initially i thought that was frm somewhere in India…
good going
hmmm thank you.. this is australia
at first glance, i thought it was an Indian with sacred ash. lovely pics and info
ha ha ha Some sadhu baba he he he with a big long flute
Hiya Bikram …thanks for this musical and instrumental pic…
Hello Divya .. Thanks for the comment. I thought my feedjit might scare you away he he he ehe
thank you thank you
at first glance i thought its our own ‘Bikram’ enjoying the moment as us usual…..
………its different, so colorful……
THank god for that , else the pier would have emptied …
thank you Irfan.
Nice one. I have heard them play, its quite different but has its own charm
WHere did you see them Shas.
yeah it is very different … Thank you
Last year I was in New York. An aboriginal played it for an inaugural.
hmmmm wow..
I have never heard a live traditional music sort of this. But I think they got their own charm.
hmmm Well you shoud try to , traditional music is so very soothing .. yes they have there very own charm …
Interesting .Rishikesh in India has become a major center for manufacturing this musical instrument and selling it to the foreigners at cheaper price .I had mentioned it in one of my very old blog post.
Very nice post Bikram.
Have a great weekend:)
Oh ok I did not know about that … in rishikesh
Thank you for liking the post .. hope you had a good weekend …
Inspiring!!!!
Thank you .. ..
Oh they are so beautiful. I want to pick one up and start playing as wll
thank you Comfy..
An impressive instrument. Those in the other pictures are beautifully fashioned. India has its own share of many traditional instruments.
Thank you so much Anil, welcome this blog, thanks for visiting.. Do keep coming
The other Pictures i just took off google
India has a lot of variety in the traditional instruements … so true but pity is we are all losing it all
It says a lot about the music he is playing! We have a 100 year old Tampura at home and we feel the “naadam” coming out of it just by looking at it, such is the power of musical instruments!
100 year old WOWO.. I am sure you can hear it and you are so right the power of music is exteme…
Thank you.
Nice one… I had seen similar instruments in Amazon – Brazil.
have you , wow.. Thank you so much.
Didigigrooo…well new thing to learn
