I was fortunate enough to be at dreaming festival in 2008. I was sitting at a camp fire with a friend, having a joint. escorted and sat on a log beside me was this man himself. he was given a guitar; and proceeded to play for just 6 people, 6 songs. While is eldest son, translated the songs during their progression. Very very moving.
i love his music and as aftonwaters said it is pure sleep music, for me this and einaudi...heaven sent music!! dont get me wrong but i dont like to see people bring his blindness in to the discussion...cos i feel blind or not, young or old etc etc this is talent so what has disabillity or age got to do with it??? i mention age cos you see lots of very talented young people on yt...and people comment "your very good especially for your age"??? its just hard work and talent...
Very happy that he was in Switzerland on the 26th October 2009 in Volkshaus Zürich on the stage and loved all of his songs.Bought his CD last year! Still keep hearing all his beautiful songs.God Bless You Geoffrey Gurrumul!
the reason y i love this guy: 1. hes songs own 2. hes damn blind from hes birth..he never saw light or anything..he doesn't even really know how human look or how hes guitar looks like..this man owns! :p lol
Everything about his album is exquisite. I bought it when it was first released ... we play it as sleep music at our childcare centre, soft, soothing and gives the children an opportunity to really listen to the pieces as a whole during their quiet time. I wish there were more Australian musicians who sang contemporary music in their language, so as to make their languages come alive for us all. Thank you Gurrumul!
this is a different kind of aboriginal he is the type i like not the city aboriginals there just scum but the guys like Gurrumul Yunupingu are the reason why im proud to be a white aussie !!
