This is Raymond Marpin who is also found in some of my other YouTube clips, a wiz of a mago AND yirdaki player.
Marpin shows how the Blue Bamboo can be played both styles, well.
The most fascinating piece he played for this clip, which he demonstrated, taught, and provided cultural insights into at "Meet the Stars" is Dhuluthulu - night owl he says, though I thought it might be a species of nightjar or perhaps the Tawny Frogmouth. But Yolngu said Dhuluthulu is a small bird, so I need to investigate further what bird this really is. The yidaki segment is played without overtone note though the genre that this song belongs to is NEAL, bunggul-style. Dhuluthulu is a spiritual messenger and Marpin's group totem, seeing it and hearing it suggests that danger is coming.
