Brisbane-based International Didjeridu performer Adrian Fabila Tjupurrula arrived in the North West region this week armed with his Didjeribone, to perform at a number of schools. Known as Tjupurru, he developed a unique instrument called the Didjeribone which combines elements of the ancient didgeridoo and the trombone, and is teamed with a seismic loop mouth-spacer to create a unique sound of both traditional and modern music. Tjupurru demonstrated to the students circular breathing techniques and how the Didjeribone can slide through different notes and tones just like a trombone. He combined his personal cultural journey and his musical talents into an energetic performance that engaged the students across the region. "The interactive performance is a combination of storytelling, humour, education and music," Tjupurra said. Tjupurru believes that sounds need to be shared and lives by that motto while he spreads himself not only around state and community schools but also juvenile centres, prisons, private gatherings and international festivals. He is a descendant of the Djabera Djabera tribe of the West Australia Kimberleys. Tjupurru visted Boulia, Camooweal, Dajarra, Mount Isa, and Cloncurry primary schools.
