Traditionally, they are used as a musical instrument, creating rhythm and beat to accompany song and dance. 滛 Artists often decorate them with burnt etching or hand-painted designs, making each pair unique and meaningful. So while they look incredible on display, they also carry a deep connection to music, culture, and storytelling.  | Readback Aboriginal Art Darwin | Facebook

Meet Harold the singer! Harold sits with his clapping sticks and tells/sings stories right near our art stall. A true character we love when Harold comes and says hello. Join us at the Mindil Beach Markets every Thursday and Sunday. #indigenousart #aboriginalart #gallery #mindilmarkets #harold #singer #clappingsticks | Readback Aboriginal Art Darwin | Facebook
