GEOFFREY GURRUMUL YUNUNPINGU

#4

In 2013, Gurrumul joined Delta Goodrem and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for a special performance of Bayini on The Voice Australia. The clip has had over 230,000 views on YouTube. Goodrem said of the performance; "Gurrumul is one of this country's greatest voices and to receive his invitation to perform on 'The Voice' was so special and something I will cherish forever." The performance was in celebration of National Reconciliation Week and following popular demand, the single was released on May 31 with proceeds of the single going towards the newly formed Gurrumul Yunupingu Foundation, which aims to help young people in indigenous communities realise their potential.

Despite peaking at number #1 on iTunes throughout the week, "Bayini" debuted at #4 on the ARIA singles chart, thus becoming Gurrumul's highest charting single and Goodrem's 13th top 5 single.
