DIDG.e.VENT | 6.-8. May 2011 @ Insel, Berlin - International Didjeridu Benefit Festival and GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt

"Exhaling air for a good purpose"

At the Benefit Festival „DIDG.e.VENT", top-class international Didjeridu musicians, and officially the largest ensemble of gifted didgeridoo players are to play on the Berlin island for the benefit of young people with Mucoviscidosis.

Alone in Germany, approximately 8000 children and young adults live, with the innate metabolic disease and suffer from chronic cough, heavy pneumonia, indigestion and underweight. The playing techniques necessary to play the Didjeridu, and the resulting vibrations that spread throughout the entire body, are ideal for helping in lung therapy. These positive characteristics are also recognized in other breathing deficiencies such as snoring, nightly breathing difficulties (Apnoe) or asthma.

With numerous, surprisingly diverse concerts, workshop, presentations, panel discussions and the Guinness World Record attempt, the Festival wants to bring the attention to this incurable illness and simultaneously wants to gather contributions for the concerned. (Contributions to  www.muko.info)

For the official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt on the 7th of May 2011, around 300 experienced Didjeridu players from all over Europe will try to help us to play a composition of Jürgen Breuninger harmoniously. If we do succeed in surpassing the record set up in Great Britain by 238 people, every participant will be presented with a document and helps to obtain an entry in the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ BOOK 2012. Every participant gives a present for a lifetime!
