Episode 206: "Garma and Darwin Festivals" - Australia

The Yolngu Aboriginal people, who have 40,000 years of cultural history, gather every year for the Garma festival. The Festival is held annually in Gulkula, which is in Arnhem Land of Northern Territory, Australia. A prominent component of the festival is a forum to solve Aborigine people’s problems. There is also a sharing of the culture, including a bunggul ceremonial performance, lessons on collecting bush tucker, and the craft of spear making and throwing. The Yolngu also perform their traditional songs and dance. There is a special Yadiki Masterclass, where people can learn how to play this unique instrument.
