He goes by the name “Gurrumul” (guh-ROOM-ull), and he’s a blind Australian Aboriginal singer/songwriter with an acoustic guitar and a beautiful warm, emotional voice. Absolutely no-frills but so appealing. Songs in the Yulngu dialect of the Gumatj clan, and in English. Every track worth playing. 1. Slow, delicate and so sweet w/a gentle warmth. 2. Warm down/midtempo w/restrained use of chorus. 3. Slow and powerful w/soaring vocals. Just beautiful. 4. Slow and moving, in English. A sweet, simple ballad. 5. Warm and relaxed, sadly nostalgic but lovely. 6. Midtempo w/sweet strings and a gentle warmth. 7. Tripping vocals, then relaxed w/sweet guitar. Very nice. 8. Bi-lingual vocals, relaxed and warm. 9. Soft guitar, gentle vocals, then a bit more power & chorus. 10. Beautiful melody, soft blend of strings & vocals. Sigh… 11. Soft and sweet w/a gentle head-nodding melody. 12. Soaring vocals, lyrical and warm. Really beautiful. | ||
