Gurrumul and Sting
On Wednesday 16 December 2009, Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu appeared with Sting on the French television show Taratata, to perform a duet of "Every Breath You Take" (one of the Police's biggest hits). The performance featured Gurrumul singing some of the song in his native Gumjatj language. Both singers harmonised and played guitar as they sang to a large studio audience in Paris. With this broadcast, Gurrumul's winning debut solo album continues to dominate the charts across Europe. Watch the performance on Gurrumul's video page.
Another television performance (One Shot Not) will go to air in early February 2010.
On behalf of Gurrumul and Skinnyfish Music we want to thank everyone who came to a performance for your support and we are looking forward to returning to Europe in late March 2010.
Gurrumul is taking a well-deserved break at the moment.
