Gurrumul’s final gift: Australia’s most original recording?
Djarimirri (Child of the Rainbow) is released on Skinnyfish Music today.
It is the result of five years of work and unlike any previous Australian recording. It’s a synthesis of ancient Aboriginal chants, modern orchestral minimalism and the complex rhythmic patterns of Elcho Island’s yidaki (the Yolgnu word for didgeridoo) playing.
It is a unique and hugely significant contribution to Australian music.
