Gurrumul - Banbirrngu - The Orchestral Sessions (Vinyl)
The ethereal voice of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu has left an unforgettable mark on both Australian and global audiences. A blind Gumatj man from Arnhem Land in Australia’s remote north, Gurrumul is one of the most famous Indigenous performers in modern Australian history, leaving behind a rich legacy both musically and culturally since his passing in 2017. Singing predominantly in his native Yolngu languages, his music, characterized by its serene and haunting beauty, has been celebrated by critics and peers alike, earning multiple ARIA awards and international acclaim.
"Banbirrngu The Orchestral Sessions," produced by Michael Hohnen and arranged by Erkki Veltheim, revisits some of Gurrumul’s most beloved songs with the Prague Metropolitan Orchestra. This album explores a range of instrumentation from sparse to full orchestral expressions, offering a dynamic range from subtlety to grandeur. Gurrumul cherished the rich support an orchestra provided, enhancing his distinctive voice. The album, mixed in Spatial Audio for the first time, adds a new dimension to his recordings, rooted in ancestral themes of birth, life, and the cyclical return to the earth.
