A Blind Mans Dreaming

Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu. An Aboriginal man, from Elcho Island, blind from birth, with a tremendous talent as a singer songwriter who received awards at the 2008 ARIA Awards last night, performed at an open air concert on the banks of the Daly River, Northern Territory at the end of May this year. The words of his songs were displayed on a large screen behind the stage, so that all could understand the meanings as he sang in his own language. He was accompanied by a classical guitarist and a bass player who is also his collaborator. How privileged we were to be there!
