Personal Note: A recent discovery on the Australian music scene and already an iconic figure. Beautiful, haunting and an amazing album that I never thought I would really listen to. A limited amount of indigenous Australian music goes mainstream but Gurrumul hit a chord with many. Had to put extra tracks up.
