"It's a heart-warming story of overcoming adversity and building a following without hype"

CD Description
The multi-award winning blind indigenous Australian musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu's debut album, 'Gurrumul', is a sprawling example of world music crossing over into the mainstream. Geoffrey's incantations in both English and his native Yolngu language are poetic, rustic and entertaining, and borne of a deep connection with his homeland. Yunupuingu himself has never learned Braille, does not use a guide dog and prefers to shy away from the limelight thrust upon him bythis interesting and award-winning record.

Customer Reviews

Amazing album
I heard one track from this album on Radio 2 and loved it. I was so inspired by what I heard that as soon as I was able to I tracked down the album and bought it - and I have no regrets. The music of this man is wonderful, really relaxing - ideal to listen to when you want to chill out (I wouldn't recommend it for in the car, you might relax too much). I think the album will appeal to a wide range of music lovers.

Wonderful
Wonderful, heartfelt, soulful, and so many other words to describe this CD.
Worth your time and money, buy with confidence.

Musical Delight
The angelic voice and musical backing of the blind Australian aborigine Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu simply swept me away. A completely unexpectedly and delightful album that I am sure I will return to many times. The musical world is bound to catch on to this. Peter Charles, Jerusalem
