Legacy Edition – 2021 Reissue on Decca Australia – Gold Vinyl 2LP Set (first time on vinyl)
“Australia’s Most Important Voice” - Rolling Stone Australia
Rrakala – Gurrumul’s second solo album – retains the quality, purity and sound of his debut while delving into a wider palette of genres and instrumentation. Showcased for the first time are Gurrumul’s exceptional skills on piano, drums, nylon string, electric and acoustic guitars. Rrakala has achieved platinum sales in Australia and was the winner of the Best World Album category at the 2011 ARIA awards.
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.
Gurrumul has performed for Her Majesty the Queen of England, US President Barack Obama, Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton, and Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark. He was one of only two Australian performers at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert at Buckingham Palace.
Following a long battle with illness, Gurrumul passed away in 2017 at Royal Darwin Hospital at the age of 46.
