Star of The Orient
A new star is born in the world of Indigenous music.

I was introduced to Gurrumul's music recently by a good friend of mine.
Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu is a musical genius. 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. With the release 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.
By the way, Gurrumul is blind since birth. Check out his songs and videos here.
