I saw gurrumul at woodford folk festival long before anyone had heard of him. I was walking through the festival and heard the most beautiful voice I had ever seen. I went into the tent and there were aboriginal dancers doing a corroborree. His voice was so beautiful I had tears running down my face and I wasn't the only one.

[@Yuvraj31579]

You are lucky to see him,but what is "corroborree" , I asked just for an information.....

I love your comment. Heart of my own. I hope that the Aboriginal people understand that there are white people that are truly sorry for not being able to stop the atrocities that were put upon their people. We should be living their way not the way that was put on us.

I remember watching this on the abc real late at night, I was only young then and it was the first time I'd ever heard someone from my country sing in the native language. Most beautiful thing I've ever heard, and I will forever revisit this video. Thank you for everything and rest in peace.

[@MrVariable]

It's the colour of our heart, not the colour of our skin that matters. I know aboriginals that are more aussie than some Aussies & I know Aussies who are more aboriginal than some aboriginals. I'm both & I found in my experience skin colour doesn't count for much. I've been accepted & rejected by aboriginals, & I've been accepted & rejected by Aussies. I know aussie farmers & Aussies in general who care more about the land & native wildlife than the local aboriginals. I have a personal rule I follow which is walk away & try to avoid anyone who can only see the colour of mine or anyone else's skin.
