Trevor Green, Voice of the Wind

2016, 8 minutes

Musician Trevor Green, his wife and two young children journey into the heart of Australia to discover the roots of the aboriginal culture and the story behind the didgeridoo (yidaki).

Through Green's devotion to bring forward the messages of our ancestors and connect deeply with culture, he launched a successful crowdfunding campaign that sent him, his wife, two young children and the son of his adopted Navajo brother on a two month journey into the heart of Australia to discover the roots of the aboriginal culture and the story behind the didgeridoo (yidaki), which has been such a fundamental part of the sound scape of his music. Performing 25 shows across the region and meeting with various wisdom keepers from the indigenous aboriginal cultures, this would prove to be yet another life altering journey of deep magnitude. In seeking a deeper understanding and connection to didgeridoo, he was lead to a far deeper connection with the aboriginal community of Northeast Arnhem Land where he and his family were adopted into the Galpu clan. Given the name North Wind by elder Djalu Gurruwiwi, Trevor brings the blessing back to North America where he offers his fifth studio album Voice of the Wind.
