WARNING, contains images of the deceased.
This is a tour to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in May 2004, sponsored by the Australian Government's AUSTRADE.
Rripangu Yirdaki - comprising of Djalu Gurruwiwi, his brother Alfred, Djalu's grandson Sylvester, Djalu's wife Dopiya, and Djalu's daughter Zelda - performed at a sister's city conference as well as a Royal Wedding in Dubai.
We were only there for a few days, and may possibly be the first Australian Indigenous group to perform in the Middle East.
An article in the Didgeridoo & Co Magazine, 'West Wind blows to the Middle East', describes this tour in more detail.
