Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu出生于1970年,是澳大利的亚著名歌手,他出生的时候就已经失明了,而且从来也没有受过盲人教育,但他却有着十分惊人的音乐创造能力。Yunupingu的声音就像一汪清水一样,干净无暇,像初生的婴儿一样,没有任何的杂念,我相信要内心多么纯净的人才能表达出如此纯粹的音乐.....虽然他使用的是土著语歌唱,但是一把悠扬的木吉他,一副饱涵深情的嗓子,一定能打动无数的人,Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu (born 1970) is an Indigenous Australian musician, who sings in the Yolngu language.
He was born in Galiwin'ku (Elcho Island), off the coast of Arnhem Land, Northern Australia about 580 kilometres from Darwin. He is from the Gumatj clan of the Yolngu and his mother is from the Galpu nation. He was born blind, has never learned Braille and does not have a guide dog or use a white cane. Yunupingu speaks only a few words of English, and is said to be acutely shy.
He plays drums, keyboards, guitar (a right hand-strung guitar left-handed) and didgeridoo, but it is the clarity of his singing voice that has attracted rave reviews. He sings stories of his land in both languages (Galpu, Gumatj or Djambarrpuynu, all Yolu Matha) and English. Formerly with Yothu Yindi, he is now with Saltwater Band
