Maurice_King Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 The are MANY on You Tube Sir. which means Father in his native Echo Island tongue of "Yolngu" language.He sings in Gälpu, Gumatj or Djambarrpuynu all from the original "Yolngu" Language. Most notable is the amazingly clear vocal range of his voice and the fact he plays a conventionally strung guitar left handed. Also Geoffrey is Mandaway's brother and also played with Yothu Yindy.

david roch Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Thanks for the links Maurice. What a very touching singer, I didn't know him. He reminds me singers like Van Morrison that give their soul through their music. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice_King Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 If your in the mood and have a Concert Hall effect in your Sound Card then turn it on turn it UP and LISTEN to this version of I know people on this forum think I'm a hard bastard sometime with honest criticism and sometimes lack tact, BUT after re reading the eulegy I gave my father at his funeral and listening to this turned up with the echo of the simulated concert hall simply put turned me into a driveling wreck. I don't speak the Yolungu lanquage but managed to find some translation plus there is some on the video link I posted above. Also I was wrong as I though Geoffrey was Mandawuy Yunupingu's brother but he is his nephew, when he was with Yothu Yindi he played "yidaki" (didgeridoo ), keyboards , guitar and percussion. He is now with "The Salt Water Band" who's first CD " Gapu Damurrun " sold more than 10,000 copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david roch Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I just listened again with the headphones and the Concert Hall effect. There is no filter between this man's feelings and the listener's heart, it's just magic and fabulous. Maurice, I am sorry for your father. I just lost my young son two months ago and this music, so far from my own culture and life brought me some peaceful moments like no other music. Thanks again brother.
