Gurrumul - Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu's debut album

His debut solo album has recently been described as the most beautiful recording ever made by an Aboriginal musician. Intensely shy and blind since birth, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu is an extraordinary talent who speaks through his music.

In this program, Gurrumul performs two songs in his Yolgnu Matha language.

You'll also hear tracks recorded live during one of Gurrumul's first concerts as a solo artist.

Please note that due to copyright restrictions this program is not available as a podcast.
