Skinnyfish Music is proud to announce the release of "Gurrumul", the stunning debut solo album for Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu. (Saltwater Band)
About Me:
Blind from birth, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu is a powerhouse of musical creativity. Geoffrey, or Gudjuk as he is also called, is from the Gumatj nation, his mother from the Galpu nation both First Nations peoples from North East Arnhemland.
A former member of Yothu Yindi, now with Saltwater Band, Gurrumul's solo excursions highlight his amazing talent as a singer, songwriter and musician. His beautiful voice will never leave you as he sings the songs of his Gumatj country. His solo performances are a rare treat and should not be missed. Saltwater Band hail from Galiwin'ku on Elcho Island, North East Arnhemland, and are a much loved and popular Indigenous band, partly because of Gurrumul's influence and guidance. With the release of this, his first solo album, Geoffrey highlights the tremendous talent he has to offer Indigenous music in Australia, and indeed, the world.
One of the most important and beautiful Indigenous albums yet recorded.
"Gurrumul" is now available to order

Geoffrey, your delivery comes straight from your soul and I do not need the meanings of lyrics to be moved with your artistry. The God loves you and he knows what for was that delay in your solo artistic work. You bring back the faith that the pure art needs no RP, nor maketing, nor the whole showbisness stuff.

As a former songwriter and performer,I long ago became disillusioned with the state of music...you have restored my faith that somewhere in this world there still exists music born of the heart and rendered with such soul stirring beauty....you are truly a gift to this world.

Your music, sir, is deeply inspiring, thrilling, heart-warming and such a pleasure for the ears. You have an angel's voice.

Congratulations!!! I've not heard such a wonderful performer of music in a long, long time. I must thank Jeremy Vine (BBC Radio 2) for bringing your music to my attention. Ijust love the beautiful and hauntingly spiritual virtues of your voice, as well as the wonderful arrangments
