Description
This unique Indigenous man is one of the most inspiring music stories of our generation. From concert halls to recording studios and into Aboriginal heartlands, this is the story of Australia's Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu.
Gurrumul by Robert Hillman is part road trip, part biography. Hillman's account of Gurrumul's life and music offers rare insights into the sources of his inspiration. The book includes interviews with family and friends, song lyrics and exclusive photographs.
Gurrumul's story is one of a great talent revealed and of an astonishing musical gift that has left audiences all over the world spellbound. Hillman's narrative takes you behind the scenes, offering a closer look at the influences that shaped Gurrumul's artistry.
In interviews with family and friends, Gurrumul emerges as a man of his people, shaped by the beliefs, rites, and ceremonies of a richly engaging culture.
