Gurrumul Wows Them in Paris - with Sting

I am a parochial fan of the aboriginal musician Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu, commonly spoken of as Gurrumul. Fantastic melodious voice and he mostly sings in the local aboriginal language, including parts of this duet.

He is a very talented muso, and incidently, blind from birth.

Recently while performing as a single gig on the very highly rated French TV music show Taratata just prior to Christmas, he also featured in a great duet with Sting singing the Police classic song -" Every Move you Make". While Sting definitely seems to hog the limelight, there has been a fantastic response from the French audience, as well as locally in Darwin.


He wowed audiences AGAIN during this European tour.........

There are many written reviews about the duet as well, and they will turn up in a Google search.
