with a release timed to coincide with gurrumul's performance at womad and london's barbican, this limited edition cd includes live versions of five songs from the australian's multi-platinum selling album 'gurrumul' and one song ('djilawurr') originally recorded by the saltwater band. this extraordinary live ep was recorded during gurrumul's first solo concert, in darwin in 2008. joined on stage by just bass and keyboards, gurrumul's haunting and beautiful voice is, at times, accompanied by traditional elders and his family (who were in the audience) singing along in their yolngu language - something that doesn't happen anywhere else in australia or around the world. unusually gurrumul, known for playing a right-handed acoustic guitar, plays piano on 'wukun', just accompanied by double bass, and it is a unique and special moment in a performance of rare intimacy and intriguing grace.
