He was born on Elcho Island, Northern Territory Australia and is of the Yolngu people. He taught himself to play multiple instruments and plays a right hand strung guitar left handed. He sings in Yolngu of country and of his life, songs that he wrote. His music touches the soul of all Aussies. He was greatly loved but sadly passed four years ago. Indigenous Australians have a uniqueness in their voices that's very special. A guide to pronunciation, if there are double letters such as Gurr, the emphasis is on that. The rest just flows.

Interesting to know our indigenous people are the oldest, continuous culture on the planet, going back 65,000 years. Their languages are unique and ancient and beautiful to listen to. Gurrumul was a blind multi-instrumentalist and singer who taught himself how to play. I hope you get down here one day for a visit.😊

One of the most profound experiences of my life was hearing Dr G sing & play in the open air in the Domain in Sydney one summer twilight in 2012. I will never forget the timeless stillness which came over the area as the water birds flew in off the harbour over where he was singing and his voice filled the space. It was so spiritual, I felt like it somehow touched eternity. He is a great loss but his life was a great gift and blessing.

The first time I - and probably most of us - ever heard his voice, it brought tears to our eyes. He only ever sang in his indigenous language and you didn't need to know what he was singing about to understand it on an emotional level. I must have heard this song a thousand times and it still makes me cry. Every. Single. Time.

I love that you feel the emotion of Gs performance. He was a truly inspired performer whose voice spoke to the heart. ... a beloved Yongul man from the Northern Territory . I am loving your appreciation of the great Australian performers ... you may also like Archie Roach and Yothu Yindi who are great First Nations performers. Thanks so much for your sessions ... am so glad I stumbled across your channel.

Treaty - Yothu Yindi ( Mandawuy Yunupingu - Geoffrey's uncle) Great band. Geoffrey played with them for a time. Unfortunately both are now deceased. Also... chk out the Fire FIght Australia concert with Brian May (Queen featured on the concert with Adam Lambert) Olivia Newton John, Farnsey and Mitch Tambo (Indigenous artist who performed You're the Voice - worth checking out also at some stage ! ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oteagbqmspjeXYU.html We have a ton of excellent talent here in Oz... You will be busy for a while !!

@@1holibill And they seriously did... I believe these guys charting actually helped us get the version of the National Anthem that we now use in school (well most of our schools in my state use it at assemblies etc) - it was a long time coming but I think artists like this showing how music can bring a country together helped a heap in bringing it to the kids.

You are such a special man sir. Gurrumul Wiyathul is an Indigenous Australian. On another post I spoke about Delta Goodrem a beautiful Australian singer, songwriter...here is a link to her singing a duet with him and she sings her part in English. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc9mrcWBz9qzZn0.html

'Wiyathul' is the name of the song. His name is Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu.

Hard to say much about his singing. It's pure heart, the vocals are driven only by story and emotion not ego.

He is an Australian Aboriginal i believe that he is blind and notice that is a right handed strung guitar played left handed.

@kerryhamilton1968 2 жыл бұрын

Love Gurrumul's music and voice. He taught himself to play guitar - I think he was left handed so played the guitar in reverse/backwards (how do you say that??).

Being blind he taught himself to play and never saw anyone else handle a guitar so he ended up playing upside down literally.

He is known as Gurrumul. He is an Australian Aboriginal who sang mostly in the indigenous languages of the Aborigines. He was blind from birth and taught himself to play instruments. Sadly we lost in 2017 but his beautiful music will live on.

At times, we used Gurrumul's hauntingly beautiful music to settle the Grandchildren and put them to sleep. Great Lullaby Vocals... very calming. Gurrumul is amazing. Blind and taught himself to play guitar... right-handed guitar turned upside down and played left-handed.

Thanks Soo much for reacting to Dr G. A blind first nations Australian. The voice of an angel, so soothing. Proves music transcends language. Can't understand any words but love every note. Unfortunately gone too soon, just as he was getting the appreciation he deserves. Self taught the guitar and singing in his indigenous tongue. Bridging communities.

A beautiful addition to listening to an incredible artist that was Gurrumul was his duet with Delta Goodrem one of Australia’s premier female artists on the Voice.
