Most importantly perhaps is the didgeridoo's ability to transport the participants into a trance like state. During this trance, the aboriginal people maintain the connection with the surrounding nature and land, therefore maintaining their cultural identity.

"Traditionally, an Aborigine would go into nature and listen intensely to animal sounds, not just voices, but also the flapping of wings or the thump of feet on the ground. The Aborigine would also listen to the sounds of wind, thunder, trees creaking, and water running. The essences of all these sounds were played with as much accuracy as possible within the droning sound of the didgeridoo. For the Aborigine, the observation of nature immediately requires a state of empathy, which leads to imitative expression."
