The Voice of an OZ Angel: Australia’s Answer to Eva Cassidy
Ron: If this voice doesn’t grab ya nothing will. This bloke speaks directly to the heart and the soul therein. In the words of Rolling Stone Magazine: "...His songs connect through something deeper and more profound than language..."
Blind from birth, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu personifies musical creativity. Geoffrey, or Gudjuk as he is also called, is from the Gumatj nation, his mother from the Galpu nation both First Nations peoples from North East Arnhemland in the Northern Territory of Australia. A former member of Yothu Yindi, now with Saltwater Band, Gurrumul's solo performances highlight his amazing talent as a singer, songwriter and musician. His beautiful voice will never leave you as he sings the songs of his Gumatj country.
Saltwater Band hail from Galiwin'ku on Elcho Island, North East Arnhemland, and are a much loved and popular Indigenous band, partly because of Gurrumul's influence and guidance. This is Geoffrey’s first solo album. Arguably he not only embodies the spirit of his country but of every country in this transitional age. Relax and enjoy:
