I remember 2005 sitting in the hot sun of Wakarusa and suddenly hearing the most beautiful music coming from the sun up stage! My friends and I rushed over to see Xavier alone on the stage creating music I had never heard a whole band create. Been a huge fan ever since.
In the spring of 2015, I was in Milwaukee for a work conference. The meetings were at the stadium where the “Bucks” play and the conference hotel was less than a mile away. Some folks were waiting for the shuttle bus back to the hotel… when I decided to walk. Suddenly maybe five minutes into the walk, it started pouring rain like a shower… I sprinted for coverage into an old gymnasium type of building, there seemed to be folks coming and going from the building. I found a side door open. Due to the fact I was wearing a Sport Coat, no one questioned my presence or purpose… as it turned out it was an Xavier Rudd concert (general admission) in a smaller venue. Unfamiliar with him or his band I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stick around. His second or third song was “Lioness Eye”. After witnessing his musical genius, I was hooked! I have been a fan since! Amazing!
This man is an Earth warrior (one who cares). To the international people who view the man in this clip, this gifted man, Xavier Rudd, writes his own music and is seen here producing a continual sound thru an Australian aboriginal didgeridoo which requires a difficult technique called circular breathing to produce the non-stop sound. To perform this way he has to be superbly fit. A normal deep breath intake cannot be taken when playing the didgeridoo. Circular breathing is akin to filling, “your mouth with water and pushing it out in a stream using your tongue and cheek muscles. Next, breathe in and out through your nose while making the stream. Repeat step four but, before your lungs empty, fill your cheeks and mouth with air and inhale quickly and deeply through your nose.” Of course in this clip there is no water but the method applies the same principal using only air. Try doing this with two didgeridoos and playing drums at the same time. In the background one can hear a bird call, it is that of an Australian Kookaburra, a member of the Jackass family. Xavier Rudd has written many songs and is not that widely known but, he writes great music with a great message. Listen to all of his songs as he is a friend of the planet.
Thx Pax, I did not quite explain the "fitness" required properly. I was referring to the whole physical performance including the drumming and singing.
What fun! Ivor, this recipe for circular breathing is perfectly written. This is daunting to learn. Regular breathing is a lost skill! Most people; I'd guess 9 out of 10 'civilized urbanites' use only 1/3 of their lung capacity, called shallow or thoracic breathing. I'm sure you know this already. They've forgotten how to belly breathe. We all started out breathing correctly, then mum came along to dress us in pants and belts. Just relearning belly breathing and using our entire lung package will increase our energy and endurance by half if not twice. I fell in love with the didgeridoo watching Xavier play this song, the Lioness Eye. Can't get enough of this type of music...talk about ENERGIZING!
Saw him Sunday night at the Crocodile in Seattle, about 5 feet from stage...so grateful to have had a couple hours at the feet of a master musician and a beautiful human being. It was so uplifting, will never forget.
"my ears saw the eye of the lioness and it was terrifying at first but couldnt resist the beauty of it and melted in peace" - A real beautiful piece of poem. That is really a suited poem for this piece of Xavier Rudd....
I’m Algerian and I fall in love with Australia when I was only 9 during the Olympic Games in Sydney, I know someday very soon I will visit this beautiful country, this music gives me goosebumps 😆🇦🇺
Janice - you get these people who have an affinity with their country whilst expressing something unique to it for all of us this is one great guy to hear.
We discovered xaves over ten years ago, talented, authentic, no one like him.. he lives just up the road from me, (well 30 mins literally) as us Aussies would say.. you can buy all his music through his own website, cds, records, he caters to everyone that still likes to use the old gear! Amazing man..
@@highvibe4839 absolutely. Yes we have seen him play in a lot of small intimate places before becoming well known. I have many original cds I still play in my car to this day. We are so lucky ✌🏽🙏🏽💃🏽
How many artists today can play this many instruments at the same time? I love your work, Xavier Rudd. 👏🏼 Please come to the West Coast, South Africa 🇿🇦 🙏
⭐The lung capacity, rhythm, coordination that it takes to make this miracle happen must be channeled through him straight from the universe! ✨ This video is a gift & has been a tool I've used over the years to reconnect my soul to the one source & release. Thank You my friend.☄️🫂✨
If the world weren't run by Satanists who have total control over the music industry... it would be top of the charts. When the 99 percent go vegan...evil will end... true musical genius like this will be everywhere. Not that that's ever going to happen and everyone's going to destroy the planet through pure evil greed. But this man, who himself is vegan...shows us what could have been.
@@wyrllish That is true, but it reminds me of something my station manager said a long time ago. People don;t know what they like, they like what they know.
Wow. He's amazing. Didge is such a wonderful instrument. The way he's dedicating himself into the music makes you feel the the energy that flows through every sound. Love it :)
I love the fact that he supports saving the earth. Saw the sea shepherd logo in the background. Guys like this, Mitchell Cullen care about this planet and not just themselves and fame
The earth is going to die regardless of what you do. Familiarize yourself with reality. What you meant to say was I love the fact that he supports not speeding up the natural process.
Sun is up, beautiful day I can see myself I can see myself Light me up, lioness eye I can see you now I can see you now Sun is up, beautiful day I can see myself I can see myself Light me up, lioness eye I can see you now I can see you now Sitting with this fire Wisdom in his eye With the strength of a lion Wisdom in his eye

What in the WORLD are these amazing, soul altering sounds I have just discovered? My soul literally just detached from my body, flew around the world and returned anew!
First time really listening to Rudd. Love it ❤️ this is life force in it’s essence ☀️❤️🙏 thank you Rudd ❤️ and may i add that lions are god like beings ☀️❤️🙏

Greetings from LATAM

Yeah man. 100%. Gives me goosebumps. It makes me want to dance.
You know what else is better energy than caffeine in coffee?. Speed
I'll put in my tea thank you😁

Go away hippies
Geil !, einer der wenigen Musiker, welcher noch Musik "lebt"
The didge is a very underappreciated instrument
+Zedi gan yes it is
Yes, It has a hauntingly beautiful sound.
+Zedi gan unfortunately people are dumb, most of them prefer auto-tune.
Gnome especially americans, Murrikans lurrve dem sum otto-toon (....is an american D: )
didge is best trance ibstrument out there
Watching from Norway/june 2021❤️🙏🏻👏
Just close your eyes, and let it go.... feel the music and imagine a perfect world like you wish....
Drugs, hot chicks, free beers... Oh wait, we're talking here about peace and ecology?
Perfekt 👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@xavier4728 What about a wild hunt lioness style?
Do you mean without Aboriginals?
Yes!
he is amazing live . Ive seen him 3 times and will continue to see him when hes in my area. Definately a must do!!
OK,. Nickel, biz de corse
My therapist sent me this link via email and i have never been more blown away, holy crabs.
Vanya Basil what a nice therapist
Kacper😍
💖
I want ur therapist! I had to introduce it to HER! 😂
A- bloody- amazing. The didgeridoo vibrates musically on another level! And Xavier soo tuned in, The Great Mother Blesses you Warrior. Namaste.
Playing just one is a mind trip. Watching this musician Play two plus playing percussion with both hands.
Amazing - something that finally moved me after hours of searching of something new.
I just found him 20bmins ago and fell in love with his music
saw him live yesterday, had never heard of him before. what an absolutely amazing show.
Saw him Sunday night at the Crocodile in Seattle, about 5 feet from stage...so grateful to have had a couple hours at the feet of a master musician and a beautiful human being. It was so uplifting, will never forget.
There’s something about this instrument... it gives you a different feeling inside than any others
Spirit
Merci
It has a unique and powerful voice...hits you deep within.
A didgeridoo
WE are ONE. Strength! GODspeed!
Ok... This guy is just ridiculously awesome!!! He plays how many instruments, at once! Would love to be at a beach campfire with this guy!
I have never heard anything like this before, fantastic, it sweeps me away in the deep jungle
Even better: get swept away into the bush!
My tears are running. 😍😍🌳🌍❤🌲 mother earth is talking
I come back regularly over the years to feed my soul. ✨🫂☄️
Saw him live yesterday, the man is not good he's a fucking magician. Amazing performance. Looking forward to seeing him again.
Multidimensional sound...Xavier is fused with all realms here. Stupendous!
Our Mother speaks through this celestial being.
how many marijuanas?
apforthatmusic
few injections at least, I think.
you could OD tho on that much trust me I'm a real internet doctor
apforthatmusic WebMD begs to differ.
you ever thought about if parrots had hands? that's be weird
this is the most beautiful thing that I heard in a long time.
Amazing performance. A truly gifted young man.
There are those that come to play something written from, and encompassing the depths of us.. to touch our souls. This is one..
wow! great vibes!! Earth talks through his music.
my ears saw the eye of the lioness and it was terrifying at first but couldnt resist the beauty of it and melted in peace

Absolutely Unreal artist. I needed to discover this guy tonight.

I saw him play this live, yesterday at the Dry Diggings Festival. It was incredible to hear it live!
So awesome to hear him again.
What an amazing musician
His talent is beyond definition. The VERY talented Mr Xavier Rudd, such a pleasure : )
Janice - you get these people who have an affinity with their country whilst expressing something unique to it for all of us this is one great guy to hear.
Oh my god he is SOOO goooddd. Thank you Xavier for sharing your music with us!!

I love the didgeridoo and drums! I could watch this all day!

I added a comment yesterday. Back again as just can't get enough. My "home" music. So awesome. Everyday I play this. 🎶🙏🏽
Me too!! One of my favorite songs ever :) I started playing the didgeridoo 3 weeks ago :)
@@sebastiengagne6262 you are so lucky to be able. It's so healing and .magic the energy they give off 🔅🔆

Brother.. i out of Breath Watching you play so many instraments.....Simply Marvelous indeed..💯💯💯💢💢🤠
What a genius. Stuff like this should be top of the charts unlike the shit they play these days
It should be! Top charts are a joke!
If the world weren't run by Satanists who have total control over the music industry... it would be top of the charts.

""He rules the AIR!!! "Barak o bah mah!!"
relax. people enjoy different music
@@wyrllish That is true, but it reminds me of something my station manager said a long time ago. People don;t know what they like, they like what they know.
Had the privilege to listen to Xavier Rudd at Waihi Beach in New Zealand for New Years a couple years ago, sounds crazy wicked live!
That is one serious talent. The coordination is another level 🔥🔥🔥
TRULY AWESOME
He really feels the music. That's what you call a true talent
Best shows I've ever been to. I love this guy.
This is it!! I hear this in my head for years...now it is real...thank you!!
Mine too
Love the beats-must dncing like a beast in my room.
One of my favs, great workout song too! Seen many times in concert and the best thing ever. Love his morals what he stands for and unites everyone.
Such a talented artist. ❤
Amazing!!! Inspiring, spiritually and so ancient music!!!
Wow. He's amazing. Didge is such a wonderful instrument. The way he's dedicating himself into the music makes you feel the the energy that flows through every sound.

please be quiet. you dont know what you are talking about
And you are the authority on this. It's my opinion tx and have a lovely day
I'm with you Lou Bell, I feel like anyone who picks up this magical instrument would have to have this mindset.
The earth is going to die regardless of what you do. Familiarize yourself with reality. What you meant to say was I love the fact that he supports not speeding up the natural process.
awesome the world needs more people like you
Absolutely incredibly talented!!!! AMAZING! ... created and felt from within his heart. He "becomes" his music! WOW!
You ROCK Xavier!
Quand la magie musicale se mélange à nos sens, alors nos corps dansent pour fêter la vie !
Oh Oh OUiiiiiii naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa zlke suffi

Damn thats some serious sound. LOve it!
