Geoffrey “Gurrumul” Yunupingu was an Aboriginal (Yolŋu) Australian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he played drums, keyboards, guitar and didgeridoo, but it was the clarity of his singing voice that attracted rave reviews.

He was born on the 22nd of January 1971 and died on the 25th of July 2017 at the age of 46. Gurrumul was born blind at birth.

He sang stories of his land in Yolŋu languages such as Gaalpu, Gumatj, and Djambarrpuynu (a dialect related to Gumatj) as well as in English.

He began his career as a member of Yothu Yindi and later Saltwater Band. At the time of his death, he was the most commercially successful Aboriginal Australian musician.
