What can you say. He is totally blind yet he plays the guitar like the best and his voice is very individual. Awesome, we all have a lot to learn!

[@richl6966]

Had the honour of seeing Gurrumul live at the Sydney Opera House in 2011. Simply outstanding.

[@lesterparfitt5694]

Thank you Michael for bringing us this beautiful bloke you must be lonely without your best mate or brother

[@nwukchub]

Stunningly beautiful voice, haunting and otherworldy.

[@MultiButterflies1]

Beautiful voice, very pure and sincere, and privilege to listern to him.

Michael's such a lovely man and Gurrumul was an amazing talent, it'll echo forever

[@thelittlecosycorner]

He has such an amazing voice. I'm in love with it. Just watched the queens jubilee concert where Gary and the Commonwealth Band performed - of which Gurrumul is a part of - the track "Sing" that they created. I watched it three times and each time cried my way through it, each time when gurrumul appeared. I was so proud of Gary, and the band and hearing it all together, in London overwhelmed me. He has such a beautiful, unique voice. I love him.

You're such a wonderfull people. I'm from the Moluccas in Indonesia, but live in the Netherlands. In our language we call this country Belanda. I just saw the documentary about Geoffrey Gurrumul and it touch me. Great music, great voice ❤

[@lizzyallan9665]

WOW! GURUMUL IS AMAZING I LOVE IT!

[@TikBrah95]

We have never seen him on Australian TV, we had to find out about him through another country. Australia is one of the most prestigious country I have ever seen & I am a Kiwi, & it saddens me that they may love there Australian ways but when it comes to there indigenous people is never to be found on tv.

[@lesleymeldrum7142]

I so agree. I discovered him when Australia advertised his last album. I thought he was a new talent. He died not long after. I'm sad I didn't get to travel his journey.

[@ComaToast1]
