• On this album, the late great ceremonial and original Yothu Yindi player Milkayngu Mununggurr (pictured at left holding the first CD out of the box back in 2005) distills yiḏaki playing to the basics.

• Spoken and detailed written instructions & diagrams accompany the exercises.

• The instructions are spoken in English, but several translations are available on this website - scroll down for links.
