	AIR MAGAZINE JAPAN: POP CULTURE: MUSIC: GOMA
		Goma's approach to the didgeridoo as a source of music and not just backing rhythm is related to his introduction to the instrument - which contrasts starkly with that of many other exponents who stumbled across it while trekking across Australia.
		Goma is stunned by the mushrooming interest in the didgeridoo and the number of new players since his return to Japan in May 1998.
		Goma believes the ceremonial instrument holds a power to spur people to action - a quality flowing from its reliance on breath, the very essence of life, and its relationship to meditation.
