(Australia Day) Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - Wiyathul | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@christopherwhitney2711]

I’m Aboriginal and I just love all my Aboriginal and Torres Strait brothers and sisters. I’m so fortunate to be born in this country to these beautiful people

[@TrojBlu]

Hi Christopher. I'm Dei, who requested this song. I'm not Aboriginal, but here in the Illawarra, I grew up with all the Aboriginal stories of the local land. I know my family have only been here for around 150 years, but I've tried my best to understand the local culture. I love this song. I also look forward to being educated by my local indigenous community so I can fully understand my local situation. That, to me, is the start of reconciliation.

[@357HFC]

I am a Wadjela from WA. Indigenous (especially from the desert) music is some of the best music I have heard. Without doubt Gurrumul and his music is way up there. I too, am fortunate to be born in this country and that First Nations People share with us.

[@zappagorewaikato1009]

An old school OG hardcore kid & death metal fiend here…Dr. G. Yunupingu makes me cry like a baby every time I hear him. RIP genius 🙏

[@patriciaboucher2221]

For something you will never forget, listen to Delta Goodrem and Gurrumul singing Bayini.

[@onemuckypup9823]

OMG I just said the same thing in my comment! I always cry listening to Bayini!

[@franmarel2883]

Otherworldly….He may be gone but thankfully his voice remains. Thanks for bringing us this today.

[@nicholaslongford-solopage4476]

I had the privilege of seeing him perform live a number of times before he passed away. Mesmerising, captivating and never a dry eye in the house. R.I.P. Geoffrey

[@Dr_KAP]

This is just so touching. It may not even be the sort of music you love or play but you can stop and appreciate and respect the talent of our indigenous elder. This is especially important today.

[@savitrisdisciple]

Perfect pick for our Australia Day - I can't listen to this without tears, such a beautiful song, such an incredible Aussie

[@procrasin1]

Yeah I feel exactly the same way when I hear this 👍😿

[@deanmaynard8256]

This song is in what is probably the oldest language you are likely to ever hear.

[@chadjcrase]

Except for most of Africa.

[@stevetreloar3129]

It is said angels cry when he sings! RIP

[@GrandpaOCE]

because he was one of them but lived with us for a short time

[@LeeLeeHere]

🖤💛❤️ what a gift he gave us with his beautiful voice. His music lives on and is introduced to people thanks to your reaction.

[@lbd-po7cl]

Great choice. G Yunupingu was by far our greatest cultural ambassador. Strongly recommend you check out more from him.

[@bobhawke7373]

I know not everyone is expected to know this. But in indigenous culture, once a person dies, their name dies with them. It's a disrespect to use their full name once dead. Australians now commemorate Dr G Yunupingu. RIP Dr and thanks for the memories

[@InvidiousProductions]

I don’t know what it’s like in the states but everyone I know mainly in the Melbourne suburbs holds their own personal music sacred and get such solace from it, especially when life gets you down it heals you. Usually alone & private. So when you go out & experience a great live performance it’s a great release to experience it with others & know you all share the same love & joy of it. For some it’s folk but could be hard rock, death metal, rap, club music, jazz, blues, country or pop or anything. I’ve seen so many poor gigs that the really good ones have a special place in my memory.

[@InvidiousProductions]

This particular artist is very special to me. In 2009 I was hospitalised & in a coma. When I came around & spent some long lonely hours sleepless in the ICU, the first GGU album was on high rotation on ABC radio & man did it give me a lift, particularly this song. No idea what it means just the pure sound & spirit helped me through. Peace to you all. RIP Geoffrey GU.

[@ziglaya4293]

This song was the entrance song at my mums funeral. The song we said our last goodbyes and left the chapel to was Gurrumul and Paul Kelly doing Amazing Grace in Language and English crossover. It was truly beautiful and poignant as my mum was of both Koori (Indigenous) and English heritage.

[@manna6618]

Gurrumul was such a special person to the Australian people, truly sent by the spirit angels to heal and come together over our love of a beautiful country...rest in peace Geoffrey, always loved and never forgotten. X

[@MichaelAxe]

Nailed the name. Well done. 5 Stars.

[@wendygroves8296]

I get goosebumps, a lump in my throat n tears in my eyes when I hear Gurru.mul sing. Truly Amazing.

[@evermoredragon892]

Wiyathul - Longing for Peace.

[@Chriseboi]

R.I.P Dr.G if his voice doesn't touch your heart you don't have a soul.

[@frankiesullivan6015]

He was an amazing talent and a great Australian.May he RIP

[@echofoxpaw73]

he has a duet with another Aussie legend Delta Goodrem. it worth checking out too!

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

He was part of Yothu Yindi, they did "Treaty," and "My Island Home." Big in their day. Beautiful music.

[@janinebell763]

I am Australian and love this song. He is amazing.

[@harysmith1024]

I'm an Aussie, this song is beautiful. I can't watch it anymore it makes me cry

[@michaelradel2405]

G’day. Thank you, guys, for your reaction and respect for the inspirational presentation of this wonderful Australian First Nations man. I’m an old Australian white man and we don’t have a proud history of honouring our First Nations peoples. This beautifully unique individual just shows how special these Australians and their cultures are. Gurrumul Yunupingu highlights how beauty resides in all peoples, despite personal and social constraints. 👍🤙🏿🇦🇺🌹

[@onemuckypup9823]

I'm also Australian - I agree with you 100%! Beautifully said.

[@chadjcrase]

Puke...we are all the same people. Music is music.

[@maidaursuladawn44glasgow3]

That beautiful voice always makes tears come to my eyes he was one of a kind

[@waratahdavid696]

Love your reaction, they say alot without getting in the way. This song made the hairs on my arm tingle. As you said, angelic. A ~40,000 year old language brought to life by a gifted individual

[@alyn927]

Gurrumul and Delta is awesome and unforgettable. Goosebumps every time I hear it. I hope I don’t miss you reacting to that particular performance. Gurrumul always brings a tear to my eye so much emotion. Thankyou for this

[@grantkeenan9014]

Dr G. Yunupingu was without a doubt a true Australian treasure. Thank you to Dei for the request and to the reactors for a great review. Culturally speaking for our Australian traditional owners, it would be nice to put a disclaimer that the video displays images and recordings of people past.

[@juliewaddell4653]

Perfect selection for Australia Day...thanks guys🖤💛❤

[@cgkennedy]

Saw him at Queenscliff, South of Melbourne about 10 years ago. He was in a marquee that held close on 1000 people and it was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.

[@keithgregory2800]

Hi guys if you didn't notice he also plays a right handed guitar upside down . What makes it even more special he was born blind .

[@jemxs]

Love this beautiful song. Dr. G was such a beautiful soul. R.I.P. Thanks Dei for another great suggestion.

[@donnamun1298]

I'm an Australian Aboriginal we went through so much pain suffering that still effects us to this day, Thank you sharing our music to the Rest of the world😊

[@Jenny_Ss]

AMAZING Gurrumal 🙏🙏🙏❤️ legend

[@francesthrelfall3982]

When my baby grandson was upset I would play this to him and he would settle straight away. My daughter took to having this constantly in the CD player of her car just incase....quick put Gurrumal on!

[@peterpayne9869]

This is also Bapa (Father ,).correct me if im wrong bllody cry everytime i play it ,Beautiful Gurramul ..

[@TheRubeeRose]

I heard you say his name, I knew the song that you were going to play of him singing ... tears welled. Then I heard the first few strains, eyes overflowed. I love the way he sings this. It is one of my favourites ever. RIP

[@franklinclinton5967]

this song is the song for sitting outside near a fire looking up at the stars

[@zwieseler]

Good one Dei. RIP Gurrumul.

[@jenniferjacobs228]

Beautiful....Such a talent.. R.I.P. xxxxxxx

[@BassMatt1972]

[@Aileen-n1u]

[@kiraleesmith9916]

Have you seen him perform with Delta Goodrum? It’s beautiful and makes me cry every time I hear it.

[@GraceClague]

As an Aboriginal woman I appreciate your smiles for my Gagu 💖🙏🏽

[@leonagoltz2210]

You both are wonderful and appreciate the respect ☺️🥰

[@jaredmk4897]

R.i.p gurrumul

[@chriscorrigan7420]

Absolutely bloody magnificent

[@JudeAussie]

Beautiful! ❤️🇦🇺

[@Yulowirri]

My Brother Gurrumul, thanks for sharing.. 2 deadly..

[@lynettecollyer4676]

His music is mystical and sole full. Sad he has passed away .

[@colkellahan6676]

Australia = Heart

[@toddgack2942]

Beautiful!

[@onemuckypup9823]

I would recommend that the Wolf Hunterz watch Gurrumul sing ''Bayini'' with Delta Goodrem - it is divine! I cannot listen to Gurrumul without crying - his music's beauty touches me so deeply.

[@briangill4000]

Most of his songs are about COUNTRY and FAMILY.

[@colkellahan6676]

Check out Yothu Yindi, Aboriginal band, they represent

[@annistopi8968]

🖤💛❤️

[@donnamun1298]

He mother said if you close your eyes and listen you will know him and his people 😢

[@maxwellsterlingYT]

08"43 that is the australian illusion - the dirty secret.

[@nicisowter203]

Please listen to Gurrumul duet with Sting, Every Breath You Take

[@cameronbickford6839]

Gurrumul was a beautiful story teller each track is combination ceremony singing and he's own art... Rest in piece uncle G..... Now onto the Australia day BS Aboriginal and TSI brothers do not celebrate this colonizer supremacy date please do not dedicated this song to that day

[@ayeshaazeem4783]

So triggering when ppl kp calling Jan 26th Australia Day. If they don't wanna respect Our Mob by calling it Invasion Day or even Survival Day you'd think the least they could do is call it January 26... 🖤💛❤

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

"Helo,Hello"

[@romancaesar]

RiP Brother Noongar.

[@DPG_photo]

I’m an Australian and ashamed to hear this for the first time and not to know the words.

[@rongt859]

Unfortunately no longer with us , past away like many Australian First People , from the European diet bought to Australia by the colonizers .The indigenous Australians having live for 50,000 years without processed sugar , with the last 200 years , diabetes and its ill health effects taking a heavy toll on them .

[@paulblackburn5356]

He's left handed. He was given a normal guitar. He learnt to play it left handed.

[@briangill4000]

😭😭👏👏👏❤️❤️

[@MelodyMan69]

Recon he has it RIGHT. High notes on top and low notes on bottom. Must try to flip my Guitar.....

[@nubyoz]

Could you react to his song Rainbow Child? On another level again....out of this world

[@Aeye424]

Is this about beer.

[@gb-vw9vh]

u must have heard of TEX PERKINS. if not look him up you both look stoned enough to handle his works

[@shads_5045]

Invasion Day NOT Australia Day! Always was, Always will be Aboriginal land

[@joevirovac456]

none of the fake colouring , lipstick , hair colours just plain and simple
