Sting said Gurrumul is "the sound of a higher being"
Rolling Stone Magazine described Gurrumul as - "Australia's most important voice"
Multi Aria Award winning musician, winner or the Best World Music Album - Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - invited 13 yr old Straalen to sing with him at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, and together they created a beautiful collaboration of Gurrumul's beautiful song - Wiyathul.
Straalen was so proud to sing this song in Gurrumul's native aboriginal language.
This is a snippet of that performance. Straalen said it was a dream come true and the utmost honour to sing with the man he calls 'The true voice of Australia'.

  • Very beautiful performance. I'm enjoying your CD a lot these days. Your music is very soothing and inspirational. You've definitely won me over as a fan. (I'm from the USA).

  • Thanks for sharing this wonderful song. One of the most beautiful I ever heard - and I heard a lot from all kinds of music! Sung perfectly!

  • Amazing, stunning, incredibly beautiful, I have been waiting to get home for 2 days just to hear this. My iphone wouldn't play this when I was on the road. Now I've played it 5 times before even taking off my coat.

    Straalen, thank you so much for this and as much as it was an honor for you, I am honored to now have heard this.

    btw; Yes it did bring tears to a grown man's eyes.

  • Incredible...Stunning! I am seriously blown away. Keep it up Straalen(:
