FAQ About Role of Indigenous Australian Music in Cultural Preservation

Can anyone play the didgeridoo?
While the didgeridoo is a popular instrument, its traditional use is often restricted by cultural norms. In some Indigenous Australian communities, playing the didgeridoo is reserved for men, with specific cultural practices and beliefs surrounding its use. However, in a contemporary context and outside these communities, many people around the world play the didgeridoo without these cultural restrictions, often as part of world or fusion music.
