    Born blind, the Indigenous Australian singer/songwriter Gurrumul grew up as a member of the Gumatj clan on Elcho Island, off the coast of tropical North East Arnhem land in Australia’s Northern Territory. Gurrumul’s songs speak of identity, spirit, connection with the land, the elements and the ancestral beings to whom he is related. His fragile but uniquely emotive high tenor voice and aura-like persona elicit feelings of peace and longing in listeners.
    Gurrumul first came to the world’s attention when his self-titled debut album Gurrumul was released to international acclaim in 2008. His angelic voice connected with fans the world over, including such notable names as Elton John, will.i.am, Sting, Gary Barlow, Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder. Half a million copies of Gurrumul have been sold worldwide.

    21/08/2024. RIP you, Aussie legend. I have been a fan of this great singer for many, many years. After years working with Indigenous peoples in the N T and elsewhere, I was most happy to discover Gurrumul's singing and songs. Peace and blessings to all people from this ole bloke.

    I still miss this beautiful man. The humility, the grace, the love, the acceptance of his role in life, the understanding of his culture and respect for his elders, marked this man such a unique and beautiful human being, the one you would love to sit and share a sunset, even though he was totally blind, he lived in this world, but also shared his world with us, and we were blessed for the sharing of it.

    This is one of the most intense short documentaries I've ever seen. I discovered Gurrumul several days ago and was completely engrossed into his music. I opened Wikipedia to learn more about him and was deeply sad to learn that he passed away already. I am so glad that some bits of his life were captured through this documentary. My gratitude to everyone involved. Thank you Gurrumul for being here on Earth and for the songs you sang. Wherever you are now - bon voyage.

    Just watched the full movie/doco on Netflix.
    Amazing.
    Could see the heart break on his face when his father died..
    Only time where one name has been kept alive, so many more people can enjoy his music legacy.
    Thank you to the Yolnu elders.

    What an amazing man a purity of spirit that saturates his voice and transforms all who hear him into true listeners. They stop and stay in the 'now.just long enough to really hear him through their hearts.

    You can clearly see that Gurrumul knew the British and the Queen would steal his music and money. Just like the British stole his family and country. The British did the same here in Greece and Cyprus. Love from Cyprus Greece to the Indigenous Australians. RIP Gurrumul .🌀🌈👣

      Indeed what a lovely democracy of the whitewashing sytem to try to be nice with their image ; While they sucked their country and pralized culture with their god & human rights manipulations (Business ) .Yes I love the Aborigin culture ,the natives of Australia as I love any pure folk on this lovely PLANET ; which is a earthly HEAVEN but became an Hell of greedy and sneaky reptile suckers ELITE all over the world ...
