The 5 people who disliked this need to be taken out the back and shot.

[zimby501]

I am in the UK, I heard him on U tube I cannot stop listening to his voice so hauntingly beautiful , brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear Bapa

I agree who needs Simon Cowell creations who got no talent whatsoever

when there is this guy with the most incredible voice.

[mrjonthetube]

this guy is amazing - each note is emotion filled. Well done, Gurrumul - you are an inspiration to every Australian - black or white, sighted or blind, country or city.

How fortunate are we, in these troubled times, to have the Voice of an Angel in our midst, to remind us of our intrinsic humanity.

[dynatools1]

This is absolutely beautiful music. Why do people scream and make noise whilst listening to such beautiful music. If you are one of these people, you are bloody annoying. Get a clue!

[stensholm1975]

[LulaKuwait]

I have been listening Gurrumul for the last couple of years. I discovered his music when I was putting together resources for my World Geography class. His voice is incredible and the emotion that he projects is awesome. Hope you enjoy!

Gurrumul can bring divided peoples together.

He has done much to reconcile indigenous and white Australia. There is still more to be done.

[davidmilana]

amazing.

[hashtu]

How amazing voice! I accidently saw his video on youtube and I can't have enough of his emotional voice. Each word comes out of his soul, so soothing and so touching. I don't even know a word in his language but it still melt my heart. I never felt before that music and voice has such a effect on human mind.

[r0bBe1984]

[tudori1]

[dmk6468]

I have gone from never hearing of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu to being mesmerised in the space of a week. What beautiful haunting songs he sings. Music has no boundaries. I have never been blown away like this. He is an Aboriginal Australian and i am a white Englishman, poles apart but EVERYONE can enjoy these songs. Truly they are beautiful.

[SmellsLikeDuck]

This Guy is Simply amazing!

[jimtm69]

proper lump in the throat, he played bapa on a tv show here in the uk last nite and now i cant get enough of it, the sentiment and power of his voice gets across what he's saying, regardless of language. What a gem you have Australia!

[craigjcampbell]

what show was that?

I know he played Djarrimiri on "Later... with Jools Holland" a few days ago. I didn't know he was on TV again.

[jimtm69]

he did it on the later live with jools holland last tuesday

[craigjcampbell]

I had no idea he was on in tuesday, i wish i had seen that now. I know he was on Fridays show and he only played Djarrimiri.

Thanks.

[katjashayne]

Here is our true Australian Idol, none of this fre fab crap

[jimmonas]

susan boyle aint got nothing on GGY

[bobsicle001]

If only he could read these comments. Must be a welcome change to the discrimination and slurs Aborigines usually get. Good on you, Geoffrey, your fantastic in more ways than one.

[muzicanoz]

His whole album is beautiful and mesmerising - I hope it's available overseas. I practically wore mine out in the first week. Thanks for this clip, as I didn't see the ARIAs and was sorry I missed seeing him perform.

[nfp62]

hi to all you ausses, im from england, wow what a treasure he is to you, that voice, what else can anyone say, dosent matter its in his native tounge, goes right to the heart, and im a hard man, but soft on the inside with his songs. bye out there

[r3dz0diac]

[r3dz0diac]

WTF IS THAT this suck

[pizt]

As does your vocabulary

[BArcher83]

I just saw him play at the WOMAD festival in New Plymouth in NZ, he hands down had the best voice I heard those three days.

[pizt]

his voice is superb, I can't believe he didn't sing in Yothu Yindi

[misterkra]

just beautyful

[TWENZA]

Hauntingly beautiful piece of music. Can listen to that song over and over again and every time. You get that same feeling come over you. Simply beautiful.

[fabiortizzi]

hermosa cancion!!

un privilegio escucharla!

[alexchiswell]

fantastic emotional song. pls translate.

Where has this talent been hiding?

[aussiegarf]

Translation of Bapa reads:

'Grief has taken hold of me for my father when the sun sets, oh beloved father / Crying and crying when the sun goes down, My mind there at Bekulnjura, Oh beloved father / Two Gumatj ladies crying, ancestor boss ladies Dhuwandjuka and Daylulu, when the sun sets my there at the place Gunyanjara'.

Blind from birth, Geoffrey is a former member of Yothu Yindi and now with the Saltwater Band, he sings the songs of his country in his debut solo album "Gurrumul".

[alexchiswell]

Thx for the translation. The words fit the melody. It is a sad song but an excellent one.

Thx Alex

[sniperstdude]

Thank you thats the most constructive piece yet.

Beautiful.

[LynxCC]

[ig0r0t27]

[644112]
