Mandawuy Yunupingu the lead singer of the Australian band "Yothu Yindi" died at his home in the Northern Territory on 3 June 2013...... Mandawuy suffered from chronic alcoholism, which in turn has contributed to advanced renal failure. He received haemodialysis three times a week in Darwin....... m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=S7cbkx...cbkxn4G8U

A little more Michael? ‘Mandawuy Yunupingu’ lead singer with his Rock band “Yothu Yindi"..This epic “Sunset” dated 1992,,is complete with some very imaginative tribal atmospherics, creating a great dynamic atmosphere, with enjoyable audience participation, I’m sure he was a sad loss for everyone,, Australia’s unique music entertainer…

Thanks for the live link Roxy..........maybe Mandawuy (formerly Tom Djambayang Bakamana Yunupingu, skin name Gudjuk) is not so well known outside of Australia.......... his passing was a sad day for Australian music and indigenous culture.......... Yunupingu, means rock - rock that stands against time.

I have never heard of him until hearing an article on our National Public Radio regarding his passing.

thanks for sharing, I liked it a lot.  new music to me.



a few months ago, I bought a didgeridoo.  supposedly a pretty nice one.  I figured 'how hard could this be, its just a big tube'.  It's a little trickier than it looks, but is a load of fun.  Pretty darn cool to see one in a rock jam session.

Wish I could didgeri like that guy do.  Goes to show -- good music is universal.



I enjoyed that vid a lot and now realize what will be missed by his passing.  RIP
