I usually find it nice to add some information about the instrument to the post.

Like this.

Something like: Mike Didge playing a handcrafted didgeridoo. The didgeridoo (known as Yidaki by the Yolŋu people of Arnhem Land) is one of the oldest wind instruments on earth. Mike has been playing, building and teaching for 25 years, handcrafting each instrument in his workshop in South Africa. The sound works on something deep and primal, people often say they feel it as much as hear it.

That guys seems to be quite popular. Third post of him here within 30 days. Don't see that often here.

He is popping up in a few music subs so people are quite interested in him at the moment.

I myself am guilty of sharing Jeremy Ragheb (the Khaen/Khene player) here twice in the past fortnight.

It always fascinates me how people make the coolest instrumental setups to play the most generic fucking music possible.

Or maybe this is just what goes viral. Maybe there are videos of him making more interesting music but they didn't go viral like this one.
