I ❤️❤️❤️Gurrumul. I get goosebumps , lump in my throat and tears in my eyes everytime . ❤️ that he sings in his native language. Voice like Angel He's mesmerising.
King Geoffrey was an angel sent to bring peace to our country and our people, forever loved and dearly missed by all Australian's. Just quickly, I was on a fishing trip not too long ago and after a beautiful morning fishing we were sitting around camp having some lunch with this song playing on a laptop someone had brought along... suddenly an emu came strolling right into camp and just stood watching the laptop as the song played. Once the song finished it just turned around and walked off. It was for some reason a hugely touching moment for us and a couple people had tears in their eyes, it was like we just witnessed something spiritual... will never forget it. X
As a born and breed 6th generation Australian, I hope one day we "new arrivals" develop the real connection with our beautiful land as many of our indigenous peoples had and have. So much knowledge and understanding. We should all praise and value what they have, just so special.
Gurrumul sings straight to the soul of our Country. 60,000 years of living here. The oldest continuous Culture in the World and at its core the idea that we do not own the Land, it owns us. It is our job to protect the Earth and Nature. His songs are love songs to the Earth. This is what Gurrumul sung about. I cry every time I hear his songs. They are strong and eternal. They are what makes Australia different, beautiful and hopeful.
@@GraceClague Next to your horrendous distortions and propaganda, the Sphinx (clearly) founded eleven to twelve thousand years old is actually understated; different culture to the current one.
It’s hard not to have leaky eyes, with the beauty of his voice and material. Gurrumul, gone too soon. Reconciliation is so important, our new Prime minister, finally displays the flag of first people. A small gesture, but important.
Thank you Didy, I am unable to watch this without tears. Our Aussie history has its own hidden Trail of Tears, and only in recent times has there been recognition
Gurumul is a National Treasure. He had a beautiful voice. Prior to 1967 Aboriginal people were treated very badly. We are currently beginning to struggle with recognising First Nations People in our Constitution, having a voice to Parliament and commencing Truth Telling. Great reaction to Gurumul.
Thankyou so much for this reaction. The indigenous peoples of Australia were treated very badly in our early history. And it wasn't until the 60's that the wider australian community pushed for change. DR G has the most hauntingly beautiful voice. You don't need to understand the language to feel the essence of what he is saying
No need to thank me. I know some of the Australian history and the terrible deeds done to the indigenous people. They got the same treatment as all other indigenous people in the world. It's one of the darkest chapters of our human history. We had it pretty much the same here in Norway with the Sami people, and I think something happedn in 1962 that granted them more rights and there where made efforts (education, social rights) to increase their "value" in the society.
They were counted as wildlife, which was disgusting. Should have been from the start. Bloody British colonial arseholes decided they could breed them out of being first nation people.
My 9 siblings were born under the flora and fauna act. I was born after 1967. My big brother R.I.P. stood on the frontlines at tent embassy in Canberra. He was 17yo back then and was told to protect the Elders. The land owns us. We belong to it. 400+ massacres took place from 1788 to 1930. If you want to learn about the oldest continuous culture ask an Indigenous person first but there is also a lot educational resources available online. Creative Spirits is a good website. Thank you for reacting to such a wonderful man. I had the privilege to see Gurrumul live with Yothu Yindi. Such a gentle soul ❤.
Didy you have me in tears too now! I knew with absolute certainty that you would treat this request seriously and do your homework and you didn’t disappoint. It’s only 7am here and already from the comments one can see how much this meant to us Aussies so thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are indeed an honorary Australian!! ❤️
Sorry I got you crying, but I hope it's the good ones. It's important to learn and to get to know, even for a tiny little reactor like me. I have always chased information, and history is important. We need to learn where our forefathers did wrong so there is less chance of doing the same mistakes again. Thank you so much Dr_KAP 💕💕
Actually The 1967 referendum didn't give the aboriginal groups in NSW Vic SA and WA states already had the right to vote and already counted in the census,, The Aboriginal peoples in NSW and vic wanted to be class as Australian citizens. And the Last thing The indigenous peoples of the northern Territory weren't counted in the census nor had voting rights. Actually we had no right. I am a stolen generation half-caste and was on the Tiwi island and I was still on Melville Island when the 1967 referendums took place. And it's was in 1970 that us half-caste kid were taken of the Island. And we are not class as Australian citizens. Only the state's and not the territory was recognised in the 1967 Referendums
This is what Gurrrumul's music does to a lot of people. He sings the spirit of the land. He sings from his soul. His mother said of him "if you close your eyes and listen" you will know him. The first time I ever heard him sing I was thunderstruck ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ he's related to the lead singer of Yothu Yindi, a band well worth listening to.
Just found your channel! Subscribed from an Aussie here! Love your reaction and appreciation and respect for Australia's beautiful indigenous people 🙏💓😇🌺 and to enjoy the gift of an Indigenous Australian icon through his amazing voice, spirit and beautiful heart 💓😇
Thanks for making this I'm not Australian I'm from New Zealand but I lived there a few years it's really horrible the way indigenous people have been treated and yes you are right before 1967 they weren't citizens hopefully the new Australian government can do better
Aboriginal and Maori culture are Oceanian and we are all time proud to be from Océanie. We are the "One". Thank God . ❤❤❤❤ The World wants compétition and money we wants just live on our own Land with our own culture !!! Whatever.❤❤❤ brother from Kanaky. Jah bless Oceanian culture ❤❤❤
Didy, not sure if I got more emotional over your comments or Gurrumul singing. I’ve thought of looking up the lyrics but one part of me doesn’t want to know as I feel his soul singing. I feel Gurrumul sees far more through his soul than some sighted people will ever see or feel.
Such a beautiful song and a beautiful voice. So angelic and no one hums like Gurrumul! Your right this demonstrates how music transcends language. Such a lovely and sincere reaction.
Thank you Didy that was brilliant, like you I had tears in my eyes. And thank you Doc great suggestion mate, it's a pity we lost him so young imagine what we've lost?
Didy, Beautiful reaction as ever. Gurrumul is just one of a massively rich list of indigenous artists that have been making wonderful music for so long. In my opinion Australia's greatest song writer (indigenous or otherwise) is Kev Carmody. He is an indigenous man who was a drover and cattleman, who release his debut album in 1989 at the age of 43. The songs are brilliantly written and range from political to contemporary plights to the most beautiful love songs for the land. The first track he released is still my favourite 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' which is questioning the historical hypocrisy of white settlement and their religious beliefs - amazing. His most well know track was co-written with another Australian legend Paul Kelly 'From Little Things Big Things Grow' about the fight and eventual victory of the Guringi people for their land and how it changed Australian law ever since. With the final one being 'Droving Woman' which is the most beautiful and vivid love song I have ever heard (and I'm your vintage). As a teacher I use these as an excellent connection to bring some quite dark parts of our history to light and am continually amazed how much they touch the kids. Links are below and it would be great if you could react to at least one (and check the others out as well). Thanks for your honest and heart felt thoughts - always.

I had a quick list to Kev but have to say that he sings so differently to G G Y. Kevin certainly sings with passion but G G Y sings beautifully with his soul & takes you on a journey..makes one still within. And his language isn't as harsh sounding. I feel Kev singing sounds harsh sounding alongside G G Y'S authentic, tender & humble sound. Just not comparable..this guy you listen to in quietness & respectfully. My thoughts anyway.
Re the 1967 referendum, you are sadly correct. Before then indigenous people were not regarded as citizens. As for the Mabo High Court decision, it effectively overturned the legal concept of Terra Nullius (“ no one’s land”), on which the British assumed Aborigines had no rights to the land - despite the fact they had been here over 60,000 years continuous stewardship of the country. We are only now slowly accepting the great indigenous culture and history into the broader culture, and there’s still a long way to go, but G Yunupingu was a shining light for that culture - a beautiful soul with an angelic voice, and an outstanding ambassador for all Australians. He is sadly missed.
I was playing this quite loud in my car, parked near an oval and three Kangaroos just appeared and were dead still, captivated by his voice. It was like they were mesmerised and when it stopped they just hopped away. My cheeks were wet from tears I really felt like I was home, really home.
What an incredibly beautiful voice he has!!! Thank you for listening to this performance without interruption. I have no idea what he is singing about, but it brings tears to my eyes, it sounds like a sacred lament ❤
I'm with you Didy..I've just heard this man's music tonight & felt like I can see you felt. No words. I understand the tears. To me he can't be compared to the Kev guy that has been mentioned here. Different sounds altogether.. I watched the Netflix documentary also. I believe it's the spirit of God through his singing that touches the soul..
Hi there! I've only just found your channel and am a late-comer to this particular video today, but I wanted to give thanks to your reaction video. So many wonderful Australian (and other countries) artists are dwarfed by the oversaturated entertainment industry in the US, so it often is surprising for reactors to see how wonderful some of our most hidden gems are. Normally, I wouldn't correct such a thing in a reaction video, but seeing as this video is directly discussing Aboriginal heritage in Australia and that it is Reconciliation Week that you are highlighting, I thought it only proper to mention that the plural of 'Aboriginal' is "Aborigines' (can you believe that when I typed that into Google search engine as part of a search on Reconciliation Week, it incorrectly "corrected" my spelling to 'Aboriginals'!). The singular is 'Aboriginal'. Not many people outside of Australia know that, and, to be honest, not many Australians know that either. I'm actually an archaeologist who specialises in Indigenous archaeology and cultural heritage management, so I know how important it is that the correct terms are used. I would never expect people outside of Australia, especially those who aren't native speakers, to know that right off the bat, particularly when those who should know often don't and then pass along incorrect vocabulary. Anywho, love the videos and look forward to seeing the ones you come up with next! 🙂
Thank you so much for the kind words Lotus Black5 ❤, I will do my best to fit the correct plural form into my vocabulary in the future. For me it's important to show the needed respect when I talk about people, so thank you for the corrections. 😊
@@didymalgia You're welcome. It really comes across how respectful you are and how much you believe in racial equality, etc. which is actually what prompted me to comment , as I thought you'd prefer to use the correct forms. Also, Matt Corby brought me to your channel, as I've been a fan of his for decades. :-) You should see his Australian Idol audition from when he was just 16. He had all the makings of a remarkable artist and his talent has only grown in the years since.
Something i've noticed has been overlooked in the comments and i didnt hear you talk about was he is basically 100% blind and has been since birth. He is like the Australia Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder. I definitely hold him that high myself
Thank you for listening to Gurramul. I'm also Australian Aboriginal but my people lost their language. When I first heard Gurramul I bought the CD and his voice touched my soul. Even though I only understand some words of Yolgnu language, I could feel it was a deep meaning. If you get a chance watch the documentary on his life, get the tissues ready. This man is our national treasure. I loved your reaction it made me cry so much. His music also relaxes my 3 month old grandson. He could be upset and crying, but when I play Gurramul he stops, listens and it sooths him. His music is universal ❤
You are right about indigenous people not being counted before 1967. The issue was related to that of “terra nullius” - ie recognising that they were there.
I must say that it's an absolute disgrace. It' s ok to be some kind of "proud" for the 1967 referendum, but one should be totally ashamed of the Australian governments inhumanity up until then.
Much ❤️ and respect 🙏🏽 for how you explained and shared such a rare and one of a kind beautiful soul ✨️ who could touch you soo profoundly with his voice and all Indigenous Aboriginal Australians in such a respectful way. Thank you, from a Githabul Bunjalung, Kamilaroi, Undumbi, Wakka Wakka Woman 👣🖤💛❤👣 You are also a beautiful soul ❤️
It's shameful that the laws were like that😔 I'm an eighth generation Australian and very proud that we share this land with the oldest living culture on Earth, more than 50.000 years of continual existence on this land❤️👣🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏💓🦉🏡🌳🌴
Prior to 1967, Aboriginals were counted under the Flora and Fauna Act, along with livestock. The Mabo Decision was simply raised because Eddie Mabo wanted the right to be buried on his native land, recognised as his Country. I live on Turrbal and Jagera land.
GRURRMUL has the voice of an Angel a pity the world found him so late if you would like to,listen to another indigenous man try Stan Walker From New Zealand he has co written a song for the movie Origin the Official Video was shot here in New Zealand by his cousin this song does the same thing to me as when I listen to GRURRMUL a very different kind of approach to the same things that GRURRMUL must have felt and expressed through his music.
2023 it's war in Israël !!!! Melanesian culture with aboriginal culturel showing the World how is beautiful our own culture. why are you making war ?? How is beautiful the World and how allmighty is so Great. ❤❤❤❤
You have asked a question. To clarify the situation, Aboriginal people already had citizenship of the nation of Australia. In 1967, a referendum was taken, and the Australian people made it very clear that the Aboriginal people should be counted in the census. Until then, there had been no attempt to count the remote area Aborigines, some of whom were nomadic, and lived in very arid lands. It was important, because government decisions on such things as the provision of educational and medical services are provided according to information contained in the census.
Beautiful reaction Didy, such a loss to music on his passing. Pure voice celebrating his people and his country (when I say country, I mean where he is from Arnhem Land) please check out Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody from little things big things grow ruclips.net/video/dAONlfoNVuY/видео.html
The unfortunate discrimination of the indigenous population by 'white Australia was reprehensible; especially in the light that many indigenous Australians fought in World War 1, but more prominently in World War 2 and never received any recognition.
Sadly it is right. Australia's early history was terrible. The British colonisers considered the aboriginal people more like animals than humans so there were no laws to protect their rights. As you can tell from the referendum, over 90 percent ordinary people did not agree.
Hi Aussie Gina Hear. Love you mate well spoken toright my oath mate love it. Beautiful. Have a good one take it easy catch ya later mate. Lot's Of Love From. Your Aussie Sister Gina. Love Always.🎼💖🎼
Evan more amazing than his voice is the fact THE GUITAR IS UPSIDE DOWN...he is blind and being left handed he just learnt to switch guitar around to play it...BASE STRINGS ARE ON THE BOTTOM not the top...incredible he learnt to play it
Maybe in an Ideal world you might be correct, Unfortunately there isn't a govt on the planet that would agree. The first Nations people occupied the land for several thousand years until the colonials decided otherwise and not only took procession of the land but did so in such a brutal way treating the indigenous people as mere animals. A wrong that will take centuries to right.

Reconciliation is so important, our new Prime minister, finally displays the flag of first people. A small gesture, but important.

I saw Gurrumul live and it was one of the most uplifting experiences of my life
I can imagine that 💕
How lucky you were were sadly I missed out but am still in awe
They were counted as wildlife, which was disgusting. Should have been from the start. Bloody British colonial arseholes decided they could breed them out of being first nation people.

The best way to describe Gurrumul is I have no idea what he is saying but I know exactly what he means .
The Beauty is he is singing in an ancient language, that the government bodies years ago tried to get rid of,that is what is so haunting about it xxx

Ah! you finally found the beautiful soul of Gurrumul. Sharing the songs of Gurrumul is a gift.
Didy, Beautiful reaction as ever.
Gurrumul is just one of a massively rich list of indigenous artists that have been making wonderful music for so long. In my opinion Australia's greatest song writer (indigenous or otherwise) is Kev Carmody. He is an indigenous man who was a drover and cattleman, who release his debut album in 1989 at the age of 43. The songs are brilliantly written and range from political to contemporary plights to the most beautiful love songs for the land.
The first track he released is still my favourite 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' which is questioning the historical hypocrisy of white settlement and their religious beliefs - amazing.
His most well know track was co-written with another Australian legend Paul Kelly 'From Little Things Big Things Grow' about the fight and eventual victory of the Guringi people for their land and how it changed Australian law ever since.
With the final one being 'Droving Woman' which is the most beautiful and vivid love song I have ever heard (and I'm your vintage).
As a teacher I use these as an excellent connection to bring some quite dark parts of our history to light and am continually amazed how much they touch the kids.
Links are below and it would be great if you could react to at least one (and check the others out as well).
Thanks for your honest and heart felt thoughts - always.

I would never expect people outside of Australia, especially those who aren't native speakers, to know that right off the bat, particularly when those who should know often don't and then pass along incorrect vocabulary. Anywho, love the videos and look forward to seeing the ones you come up with next! 🙂
Thank you so much for the kind words Lotus Black5 ❤, I will do my best to fit the correct plural form into my vocabulary in the future. For me it's important to show the needed respect when I talk about people, so thank you for the corrections. 😊
@@didymalgia You're welcome. It really comes across how respectful you are and how much you believe in racial equality, etc. which is actually what prompted me to comment , as I thought you'd prefer to use the correct forms. Also, Matt Corby brought me to your channel, as I've been a fan of his for decades. :-) You should see his Australian Idol audition from when he was just 16. He had all the makings of a remarkable artist and his talent has only grown in the years since.
Something i've noticed has been overlooked in the comments and i didnt hear you talk about was he is basically 100% blind and has been since birth. He is like the Australia Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder. I definitely hold him that high myself
Thank you for listening to Gurramul. I'm also Australian Aboriginal but my people lost their language. When I first heard Gurramul I bought the CD and his voice touched my soul. Even though I only understand some words of Yolgnu language, I could feel it was a deep meaning. If you get a chance watch the documentary on his life, get the tissues ready. This man is our national treasure. I loved your reaction it made me cry so much. His music also relaxes my 3 month old grandson. He could be upset and crying, but when I play Gurramul he stops, listens and it sooths him. His music is universal ❤
Gurrumul was amazing. I love his music. I play it loud to this day.
Uncle Gurrumul was one of kind and found his ways into many hearts ❤
I am amazed that foreigners love this music. Most Australians know nothing about brother Gurrumul.
You are right about indigenous people not being counted before 1967. The issue was related to that of “terra nullius” - ie recognising that they were there.
I must say that it's an absolute disgrace. It' s ok to be some kind of "proud" for the 1967 referendum, but one should be totally ashamed of the Australian governments inhumanity up until then.
Much ❤️ and respect 🙏🏽 for how you explained and shared such a rare and one of a kind beautiful soul ✨️ who could touch you soo profoundly with his voice and all Indigenous Aboriginal Australians in such a respectful way. Thank you, from a Githabul Bunjalung, Kamilaroi, Undumbi, Wakka Wakka Woman 👣🖤💛❤👣
You are also a beautiful soul ❤️
We are all brothers luv Baz in aus🧚🏿♂️
Our land ❤️💛🖤✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Hi Didy. Did you notice his guitar? He's left handed but was originally given a right handed guitar and learnt to play it upside down.
Yes you're right, a shame for all of us Australians to not recognise the originals until 1967.
Look forward to the chorus of angels already with God, that will be performing these musical sounds when we arrive.
Aussie music is awesome 👌
It's shameful that the laws were like that😔 I'm an eighth generation Australian and very proud that we share this land with the oldest living culture on Earth, more than 50.000 years of continual existence on this land❤️👣🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏💓🦉🏡🌳🌴
Over 125,000 years to be correct. Artifacts were found that dated older than the first bones found, but was hushed 🖤💛❤️
Fantastic artist, gone too soon.
Couldn't agree more 💕
@@didymalgia come visit Australia, we are very friendly and you'll be welcome to use my spare bedroom instead of paying for accomodation 😊
Naaw 💕💕 That is extremely nice of you. Thank you 💕
@@didymalgia you are welcome 😊💫
Prior to 1967, Aboriginals were counted under the Flora and Fauna Act, along with livestock. The Mabo Decision was simply raised because Eddie Mabo wanted the right to be buried on his native land, recognised as his Country. I live on Turrbal and Jagera land.
Thanks again for your info
It's like listening to the ancient spirit of a culture that spans 60.000 years or more! 🙏🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🦋🇦🇺👣😇❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 😊

GRURRMUL has the voice of an Angel a pity the world found him so late if you would like to,listen to another indigenous man try Stan Walker From New Zealand he has co written a song for the movie Origin the Official Video was shot here in New Zealand by his cousin this song does the same thing to me as when I listen to GRURRMUL a very different kind of approach to the same things that GRURRMUL must have felt and expressed through his music.
They were classed as part of the flora and fawna not human

Correct...

You have asked a question. To clarify the situation, Aboriginal people already had citizenship of the nation of Australia. In 1967, a referendum was taken, and the Australian people made it very clear that the Aboriginal people should be counted in the census. Until then, there had been no attempt to count the remote area Aborigines, some of whom were nomadic, and lived in very arid lands. It was important, because government decisions on such things as the provision of educational and medical services are provided according to information contained in the census.
You're a good man
Thank you 💖
Beautiful reaction Didy, such a loss to music on his passing. Pure voice celebrating his people and his country (when I say country, I mean where he is from Arnhem Land) please check out Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody from little things big things grow ruclips.net/video/dAONlfoNVuY/видео.html
Thank you so much 💕 I have put Kev Carmondy and Paul Kelly on my list for future reactions 💕
So Good
😭😭😭
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful ❤
Hey Didy , you will have a closer connection if you checkout the record clap , at an NRL game at Canberra stadium 👏🍻
The unfortunate discrimination of the indigenous population by 'white Australia was reprehensible; especially in the light that many indigenous Australians fought in World War 1, but more prominently in World War 2 and never received any recognition.
Gurrumul bapa
Before 1967 aboriginals and Torres straight islander peoples were classified as fauna and flora meaning plants and animals.
Just imagine that... It's just so you do not believe it's true, but sadly it was...
Sadly it is right. Australia's early history was terrible. The British colonisers considered the aboriginal people more like animals than humans so there were no laws to protect their rights. As you can tell from the referendum, over 90 percent ordinary people did not agree.
Hi Aussie Gina Hear. Love you mate well spoken toright my oath mate love it. Beautiful. Have a good one take it easy catch ya later mate. Lot's Of Love From. Your Aussie Sister Gina. Love Always.🎼💖🎼
He sees what we don't see. Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder sing great soul music
I am Aboriginal and never believe in words that have "CON" in it. Lol
Evan more amazing than his voice is the fact THE GUITAR IS UPSIDE DOWN...he is blind and being left handed he just learnt to switch guitar around to play it...BASE STRINGS ARE ON THE BOTTOM not the top...incredible he learnt to play it
Nobody really owns the land. The Earth is the Lords and the Fullness thereof. All humans just borrow the land.
Maybe in an Ideal world you might be correct, Unfortunately there isn't a govt on the planet that would agree. The first Nations people occupied the land for several thousand years until the colonials decided otherwise and not only took procession of the land but did so in such a brutal way treating the indigenous people as mere animals. A wrong that will take centuries to right.
Thank you for showing 😢😢 the pain and suffering of my people cause by white people that still effects us this day
It's shameful the way the Indigenous people of Australia have been treated. You are right, it is awful.
lmao lose the bonzer mate
Just play his song . Too much talking
