These two verses are excellent examples of the Djedbang-ari; the structure of which was described in track 1. In this case the Songman is a Riredjing-o 'tribesman' from the country of origin of the Djedbang-ari. The 'half-way stop' and the finish are very - Several - Wadamiri (03:08)

In the following five samples the didjeridu 'puller' was recorded alone, though the Songman's sticks joined in the fifth item, and can be faintly heard in the others. The first gives a Djedbang-ari rhythm. The half-way 'stop' is clear. The second rhythm i - Several - Cloud Song (04:12)

This is a djarada or love song and refers to the women (djingolo) calling out (bugurungga) as they bathe or swim (ngororong) in the river. The actual words in this stanza are hard to follow, but great rhythm is made of the je je je. The young boys take th - Several - Dangultji, Walwiyi, Wawilak Story I and II (04:48)
