About Us

Gurrumul’s Foundation was established in April 2013 with a clear purpose to engage and support young Indigenous Australians – particularly in remote communities – through long term programs and activities that build on their strengths and give them hope for the future.

Young Indigenous peoples’ natural skills and strengths in visual arts, music, dance,  sport, cultural knowledge and languages are to be celebrated, developed and supported. They are the keys to success, to counter a culture of failure, and assist young people to find pride and a place as the future leaders in their communities.

Delta Goodrem, along with Gurrumul and musicians from the Sydney Symphony, have donated all proceeds and royalties from the iTunes download of Gurrumul’s single “Bayini Live”  to  the Gurrumul Yunupingu Foundation.

    About Gurrumul

    Gurrumul was raised on Elcho Island, off the coast of North East Arnhem Land, as a member of the Gumatj clan. Born blind, his powerfully emotive yet fragile voice has affected the public unlike any other Australian artist. His songs covered themes of identity, spirit, connection with the land and its elements across multiple Yolngu languages as well as English.
