Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu is quickly becoming one of the most
outstanding musicians in Australia. A member of the Gumatj clan of north
east Arnhemland he sings the songs and stories of the Gumatj clan that
Gurrumul so beautifully adapts into sublime contemporary song styles
that is instantly accessible to western culture.
Blind since birth and featuring a voice like an angel, he is a former
member of Yothu Yindi and a current member of the hugely popular
Saltwater Band. He has contributed greatly to the Australian music
industry in which was recognised last year at the NT music awards when
he was named Male Musician of the year. His current album "Gurrumul"
debuted on the ARIA album charts at No. 21 and has peaked at no.1 on the
iTunes "Roots" chart for weeks at a time.

"Gurrumul is one of those special artists that only come around every
blue moon. He has a voice of an angel that pierces to your core. His music
is pure and simple and his talent is indisputable" John Butler
