The didgeridoo is a wind instrument made from trunks or branches of the eucalyptus tree which have been hollowed out by termites. It is an ancient, traditional musical instrument, and creates a spacey, natural sound. Goma's strength as a musician is his unique fusion of the natural, ancient tones of the didgeridoo with cutting edge technology.
