Datjirri
#1 Wunungmurra
Datjirri is of the Dhalwangu clan and was born on 9th May 1959. Datjirri makes excellent yidaki and is probably the leading exponent of engraved/carved instruments. "In the 1990's I was asked to make yidaki for Yothu Yindi. One day when I was sitting at Biranybirany with my wife Djilirrma we thought of carving or engraving yidaki. We tried it and it was good. Today we make engraved and painted yidaki." |
