A beautiful version of Bapa accompanied by The Erkki String Quartet at The Enmore Theatre in Sydney Australia 2008. Gurrumul also had a hand at writing the string parts.

  • You are a beautiful man Jeffrey. And playing that big guitar left-handed when you can't even see it. I admit I'm as white as it gets when it comes to knowledge of the original caretakers of this great land of ours. I have seen the pain and smelt the dispair (and petrol) of the coori man and hope that you can be a shining light for the beautiful people of your birth.

  • This is just incredible, heard it on the radio this morning and was just... wow.

  • @MrWerason I agree...it's an incrediblly moving song. The lyrics are on another Youtube clip which I've copied here for you... 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 Bekulnura Oh, beloved father. Two Gumatj ladies crying Ancestor boss ladies Dhuwandjika and Daylulu When the sun sets My mind there at the place Gunyanara (Bekulnura)

  • @gypsybaby71 .. I cant hear this beautiful song and see this vibrant and talented man without the opposite, and all too common, image powerfully coming to mind. BUT thank you for your comment a year after my original post as I'm now in the right place to listen to this song again :)
