Video clip below from August 9, 2007 performance with David Hudson at Casanova in Maui, HI.
Aloha! My name is Alana Cini and I have been playing the didgeridoo, also known as didjeridu, or traditional name, Yirdaki, for ten years now.
On my journey into the deep pacific I spent several years in Australia traveling by mountain bike over 8,900 miles throughout the north, south and central parts of Australia. Settling in Kuranda, North Queensland, I was introduced to the local aboriginal culture and the sound of the didgeridoo. Inspired by my association with the aborigine people and their multidimenstional relationship to the didgeridoo, I fell in love with its vibrational, haromic and musical qualities.
Seven years after leaving Australia I eventually made my way to Seattle, where I was reintroduced to and given an instrument by a very good friend from Kuranda. One of my teachers, David Hudson, is a world renowned didge player who resides in Cairns. David comes from the Ewamin (oo-rah-min)/Western Yalangi (people of the north east coast of Australia). His life and his love and belief in Aboriginal culture has inspired me.
Some of the folks I have had the honor to perform with are: Stephen Kent, Alan White from the band YES, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Mothers of Invention Band, Pat Simons, Artis the Spoonman, the Manao Radio Orchestra, as well as a variety of local and national events and recordings.
I have brought the didgeridoo into many different genres of music.. i.e. Trance, Rock, Blues, Classical, East Indian, a bit of Jazz, African, Latin, and traditional Hawiian music.
One of the very cool things I do here on Maui is Iam a radio DJ on a local, live, listener supported radio station here on Maui. My show is every Wednesday evening from 8PM to Midnight & Beyond. Most of the DJ's are local musicans from around Maui. Also on some Wednesday nights we have Club Manao Niteclub from 8PM to 10PM, featuring local and international bands live on the air. The Manao Radio Orchestra is a band consisting of volunteer musican/DJ's from Manao Radio. Check out www.manaoradio.com!

Film Synopsis: On
the invitation and prayers of tribal leaders, the Dalai Lama travels to
a poor and remote Muslim village at the India Pakistan border. More
than a symbolic gesture, the visit results in an invitation by the
Dalai Lama to provided a modern education to children from the village
while insuring their religious and cultural heritage. Without this
film, this amazing story would never be known or seen.
Give Thanks! We had a great time and would love to come back out and perform again in Maui. We will hit you up when we come in the winter, maybe you can help us promote. Thanks so much for the love. BK
"Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; “global peace and unification.” But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, “LOVE”. Let love abide" ~ Philip Brown
