Discover the Didgeridoo

Calling all music lovers and cultural explorers! Have you ever heard the hypnotic sounds of the didgeridoo? In the heart of Acadiana resides Raymond Paul Howard, a native son and the soul behind some of the region's most captivating hand crafted didgeridoos.

Raymond's love affair with this ancient instrument began at a young age, sparked by a chance encounter with its haunting melody on a crackling record album. The sound burrowed deep, and years later, he embarked on a journey to bring its magic to life.

Through self-taught mastery of circular breathing and a deep respect for the Aboriginal Australian tradition, Raymond became a skilled didgeridoo crafter. He breathes life into local wood, bamboo, and even century agave inflorescence, transforming them into instruments that whisper of ancient stories and pulse with earthy rhythms.

But Raymond's passion extends beyond crafting. He is a storyteller, eager to share the didgeridoo's history and cultural significance, particularly honoring the Yolngu people of Australia, the custodians of this unique art form. His presentations at Lafayette libraries have captivated audiences with a blend of music, knowledge, and cultural sensitivity.

So, whether you're a seasoned musician, a curious soul, or simply someone seeking a dose of cultural immersion, let Raymond Paul Howard guide you on a journey through the soundscapes of the didgeridoo.
