    Stimulus 1: Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

    Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu (22 January 1971 – 25 July 2017), also


    referred to since his death as Dr G Yunupingu, was an Indigenous
    Australian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he played drums, keyboards,
    guitar (a right-hand-strung guitar played left-handed) and didgeridoo, but it
    was the clarity of his singing voice that attracted rave reviews.
    He sang stories of his land both in Yolŋu languages such
    as Gaalpu, Gumatj or Djambarrpuynu, a dialect related to Gumatj, and in
    English. Although his solo career brought him wider acclaim, he was also
    formerly a member of Yothu Yindi, and later Saltwater Band.[6] He was the
    most commercially successful Aboriginal Australian musician at the time of his
    death.
    According to the National Museum of Australia, "Bayini" are light-skinned
    mythological beings who were also involved in collecting and curing trepang
    (an edible sea cucumber).[3] In literature, the first non-Aboriginal visitors to
    the Arnhem Land coast are referred to as Bayini. In songs that record and
    preserve their traditions, Aboriginal people of Arnhem land tell of the Bayini
    gypsies with copper coloured skin who visited their shores.
