Didgera - Australian World Music

Music inspired by the expansive landscape of Australia. Dave Johnson and Zane Savage team up to share their traveling experience in musical form. Didgeridoo, Keyboards, Piano, Saxophone (MIDI and real) and Sound FX make for a diverse Chill/Dance journey. Lively, carefully crafted world music, inspired by the beauty of Australia.

Dave Johnson on Sax, Keys, Programming and Percussion, with Zane Savage on Didgeridoo, Keys and Electric Pianos. This is an instrumental experimental ride of musical textures that will entrance you, relax you and invite you into the inner reaches of atmospheric earth based world music. The river of sound just keeps moving through many uncharted landscapes. These 2 guys have a diverse background that unites with the love of percussion and earth tones counter balanced by the atmosphere of broad keyboards and lush pads.

Progressive earth world music for chill-out and dance - Combines didgeridoo, sax, keyboard atmospheres and percussion. Inspired by the beauty and space of the Australian landscape.

By Leigh Robshaw

Didgera are a couple of groovers from the land Down Under who create awesome electronic and acoustic world music with a uniquely Australian flavour.

On this, their self-titled album, they’ve managed to capture the essence of the ‘wide brown land’ through a series of panoramic soundscapes that take you on a kaleidoscopic aural journey through stark landscapes, steamy jungles, expansive coastlines and deep into the ancient sacred earth.

Didgera’s deep grooves can at times sound as tribal and earthy as the expansive red Australian desert, rattling your bones with rhythmic intensity. Other times the music travels to a jazzier tune, with a dancey world music vibe that would be totally at home in a funky beach bar in Spain. If you love the Ibiza-born Cafe del Mar compilations, or the similarly chilled sounds of Buddha Bar and Trance Planet, you’ll have Didgera playing on high rotation after just one listen.

These guys are masters of mood creation, able to conjure up dreamlike worlds within worlds amidst swirls of effervescent sound with just the two of them and their swag of instruments. Dave Johnson plays didgeridoo, sax, midi sax, percussion and keyboards, and Zane Savage plays keyboards and didgeridoo. Together they’ve got the whole world music, chillout sound well and truly sorted.

While it’s the Australian landscape that provides the prime inspiration here, we also get spicy little sound bites from Africa, the Middle East and the Orient thrown into the mix, making for a truly soul-nourishing global musical feast.

The album comprises seven tracks totaling 64 minutes, a few of them hovering around the 12-minute mark. Relaxing and hypnotic, upbeat and energetic, Didgera’s music will float and spark around you like a multicoloured aura, enhancing any space with vibrant, mesmerising sound.
