Gurritjiri Gurruwiwi, Djalu Gurruwiwi - Waluka Rain

Review by Knut Kristian Johansen

Waluka Rain is a mesmerizing album, featuring the combined talents of Gurritjiri Gurruwiwi and Djalu Gurruwiwi. The album is a beautiful tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the Yolngu people, showcasing the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo and the soulful vocals of Gurritjiri Gurruwiwi.

The album is a journey through the spiritual and natural world, with each track evoking a different mood and emotion. The opening track, "Waluka Rain," sets the tone for the album with its gentle rhythms and ethereal vocals. Other tracks, such as "Buku Larrnggay," are more upbeat and energetic, with the didgeridoo taking center stage.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Gurrumul History," which features the late, great Gurrumul Yunupingu on vocals. The track is a poignant reminder of the incredible talent that the Yolngu people have contributed to the world of music.
