Banbirrngu - The Orchestral Sessions revisits some of the renowned artist's most notable pieces from over the years.

The soaring, haunting notes of Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu's voice sing out, supported and enhanced by the Prague Metropolitan Orchestra on his new, posthumous album. On Friday, Banbirrngu - The Orchestral Sessions, was released. The album is a reworking of some of his most notable pieces from over the years sung almost entirely in his native Yolngu languages. Gurrumul was raised on Elcho Island, off the coast of North East Arnhem Land, a member of the Gumatj clan.

"And in this case, the new Banbirrngu album is a cycle of Gurrumul’s solo musical life and his early offerings to us." Hohnen said that revisiting Gurrumul’s voice in Banbirrngu provides a resounding and peaceful antidote to the constant media noise that currently fills almost every moment of our waking lives.
