Gurrumul, the long-awaited solo debut CD by North East Arnhemland musical powerhouse Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu, presents songs of his people, culture and land sung in his angelic voice, with elegant backing of guitars and double bass.
Blind from birth, Geoffrey, or Gudjuk as he is also called, is from the Gumatj nation, his mother from the Galpu nation. A former member of Yothu Yindi, his own band, The Saltwater Band, hail from Galiwin’ku on Elcho Island, NE Arnhem Land, and are a much loved and most popularly noted Indigenous band, partly because of Gurrumul’s influence and guidance.
Album launch, Darwin Entertainment Centre, February 28th and 29th 2008
