This is Indigenous Australian gospel. Dr G. is singing of his country. Aboriginal people are of their land - spiritually and physically one. Dr G. was singing of his heart and home, his heaven and Earth. His truth is so beautiful and pure that it is only fitting that he gave it voice in the language of his place. It is something most of us will never be blessed to understand and yet cannot help be viscerally in awe of.

"Bayini" are light-skinned mythological beings. 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. Yolngu are deep thinking people. The words in the song refer to many families sitting together on the beach looking to waves and sea, the horizon, contemplating. "Long ago from over the horizon the Bayini came to Yolngu country."

The peoples of what is now eastern Indonesia , from Sulawesi, and elsewhere, had a depth of interaction with the peoples of the Top End that we shall probably never know enough about. But it was prolonged and deep. There is evidence that Islam was successfully implanted in various areas, and, then, immediately extirpated by the British.

Delta in the last couple of years lost her ability to speak properly after a surgery. She has a year of rehab to learn how to speak again and then had to learn how to sing again. She is an incredible Aussie singer

I have been known to listen to Gurrumul while driving long distance through our magnificent land and have to pull over because I can't see through the tears. Every Australian who loves this land is moved by his songs whether they understand the language or not. Because his Spirit is in the music. The Spirit of this land, home to us all.

I am so happy to see how much you enjoyed this...it is MY absolute favorite performance of all time. Delta said in an interview that it was the greatest single honour of her life to be asked to sing with Gurrumul.

Such a touching duet... RIP Gurrumul 😢 .. And I don't care what people say about Delta... Imo, she's the #1 female vocalist in Australia of the modern era. Beauty and talent personified.

This is probably the most moving and beautiful duet Delta Goodrem AM has ever done. It gives me shivers down my spine and goosebumps all over my body. No other Australian has represented the aboriginal people in Australia like she did with this duet.

We as Australians are so lucky to have had these two.... we've lost Gurrumul now but fortunately we still have Delta. She has been through the mill thats for sure - a battle with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and then vocal paralysis...she is truly a fighter. Extremely talented and we thank you for featuring yet another of our musical legends.

Well said, Jo. Delta has been vilified in the industry for so long by people who have no idea what the hell she's been through and she continues to shine. Needless to say that Gurrumul and his people have been through the mill for over 200 years. I have always believed in the philosophy of 'live and let live'. A lot of people don't seem to be party to that. It makes me very sad.

Gurrumul was a one in a 7.6 billion artist! This song by Dr G and sung with Delta should be Australia's national anthem. And even as a non-indigenous Australian, I could always 'feel' the song when sung by Gurrumul in such gorgeous, soul-searching tones. I never did understand the lyrics though until I heard this duet, so thank you Delta for offering your beautiful voice and explaining what Gurrumul is singing in such a vocally aesthetic and dignified way. I'm with you brother, it makes me cry, every time I hear the emotion of it. A sadly beautiful vocalization that is filled with melancholy. Just the most beautiful song on the planet sung by gentle, beautiful people.

I still get goosebumps listening to these two sing together. Two incredible Australians coming together, creating magic.

Very sad to lose Dr G . A special unique & ancient voice connecting spirit & land & sea. I love how Delta so skillfully matches not only her tone - but her vibrato also to his. Wonderful performance by both.

Gurrumul was an angel. He actually is an angel now. God bless.

She was basically singing (the English part) as a translation.. Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu was an Aboriginal Australian musician of the Yolŋu peoples. 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 of Saltwater Band.

Wow I didn’t know Delta preformed in aboriginal language….so amazing

😭😭😭. I remember this, and there are some songs that make you stop dead in your tracks, and this was one of them 😔💕

I cried when I first heard him sing and I cried when he died.You’re greatly missed Gurrumul.Two great artists singing together. It makes me proud to be an Australian ❤

5:35, he’s doing the higher harmonies than she is. I always love when that happens! My God, they both have such beautiful tones and strength and clarity to their voices. Delta’s voice is so resonant, and she’s able to be breathy and somehow powerful at the same time.

Delta is so so beautiful and her voice is equally as beautiful. What a great pairing

Gurrumul was special and it was a wonderful performance with Delta

He passed earlier this year, He was also 100% blind. What a great soul!

Delta is a cancer survivor ( leukemia) she has grace and thanks for life.

Dr G was/is like a singing shaman: you can't help but be moved to tears by the sound of his voice and there is something incredibly healing about listening to him. As you said, you don't need to know what they're singing about to feel the emotion of it. Delta added a lovely flourish to this too, in her own beautiful way. That's the first time I've heard them together too, and was really moved by this performance. We're so spoiled Down Under!

This song pulls you in a way that you can feel the beat of an ancient land, and its people. Our indigenous people have been around for more than 60,000 years, with a culture that is rich and colourful. I lived in the States for nearly 20 years, and as much as I enjoyed my life there, each and every day I could feel the pull of my homeland. I am very happy to be home:) Thank you for sharing your take on this song, it is always enjoyable to watch you react:)

I remember watching this live on tv and I cried then and this just made me cry again. Please listen to Delta sing anything, she’s amazing. She can sing anything. Her duet with Andre Bocelli The Prayer is beautiful

A rare and precious talented of blessed memory. He sings of his land ( country) . Gurrumul was also Blind and had a very unique way of holding and playing the guitar.Legend😍🥰🥰 thank you for reacting to this.

Us Australians are loving you right now

When you hear him you are hearing the soul of the earth and all it’s beauty

More Delta Goodren please! she is a wonderful Australian singer

I am an old aussie punk rocker and this clip never fails to bring tears to my eyes.

This is my favourite version of Bayini ❤️🖤💛. Thanks for sharing and spreading the love. Gurrumul’s documentary film had me in tears multiple times. He’s such a beautiful soul. At the beginning of his film there is a warning for Aboriginal & Torres Straight Islanders regarding possible content of people who have passed away. You could copy the wording from there for future content 😉

Wow. I must have seen this years ago because I have always watched The Voice, but I am ashamed to say I must have forgotten about it. Thank you for showing this - two of our most wonderful singers together. Dr G of course, incomparable to anyone in the world, and Delta, a truly wonderful singer in her own right, who is generous and lovely.

They singing about our paradise land Australia where our spirit lives and breaths

I have never heard of Gurrumul, but that song was just so beautiful and sung to PERFECTION by both of them. And yes, I had goosebumps. That rarely happens. But that was breathtaking.

You absolutely got my brother , its "the feeling"...

Mate it's great that you are reacting to another Australian singer, Delta. Her vocals are impeccable and beautiful in this song.

Gurrumul also does a cover of Amazing Grace with Paul Kelly. He sings in his traditional language. His voice brings tears to my eyes.

Everytime and I mean everytime this brings tears. So proud to be Australian and to witness this amazing Indigenous beautiful soul he’s talent was and still is phenomenal and on this night everyone was just left gobsmacked and in tears what a beautiful and stunning performance.. Delta brought the voice of angel that night and Gurrumul the sprint of Australia . Thankyou for reacting on this it so deserves the world attention. RIP Gurrumul 😔❤️💛🖤🇦🇺🥰

🇦🇺❤️so good Gurrumul sings a beautiful song Bapa(I believe translated to beloved father) it is a must to listen to❤️

Wow that was so beautiful, one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I'm aussie and didn't know Delta and Gurrumul sang together. That's probably because I have not watched TV in many years.

You hit the nail on the head, their performance draws you in and for me brings tears to my eyes.. Cudos to Delta for learning his language and for them both singing so beautifully together. 🙏🏾 👏🏽

I remember seeing this live and I’ve streamed it so many times when I feel I need to spiritually connect with my surroundings here in Australia. Soaring, haunting vocals from 2 amazing Australians 🇦🇺

I only just requested this today! So maybe it wasn't my request but thank you anyway. But you're right. It's the grace. And there's not enough grace in our lives anymore.

Check out Gurrumul the movie, it will teach you, where he comes from and who he is, a YOLNGU MAN in BALANDA(white man world)when a aboriginal pass away, he's pictures, voice and name is not allowed by aboriginal lore, he's family gave permission,to preserve he's legacy

That was ABSOLUTELY simply Beautiful!!

Thankyou for this reaction of one of my favourite performances with Delta and Gurrumul. This song always gives me goosebumps. I agree with you when you say you feel this music, his voice always sends me to another dimension

Gyurrumul sings of country in his native tongue. His soul is so beautiful and this duet honours this beautiful song he wrote. Love it. I remember seeing it live.

Just like, a sweet song taking you far away until you forget all troubles !! It's so so powerfull !!!❤❤❤❤ Gurrumul great voice and singer !!!❤❤❤

Loved it even though I had know idea what they were singing. Every time Delta sings I get goosebumps. Delta Goodrem Let it rain live Today is a powerful song.

Such beautiful music! I have Geoffrey's music in his latest album...Awesome!!! is the only word. Kudos to Delta for learning the words to this song and for singing it with him! Her voice is of course stellar! Gurumull's is sublime...!

This song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps.

Thank you… an amazing voice, and Gurrumul was such a humble man. His passing is sorely missed 😥

The first time I heard this when it was on The Voice, I dropped everything and just watched and listened. In the many times since I still do that. It is beautiful, mesmerizing and timeless.

Beautiful. Joyful. Meaningful. RIP.

PLEASE react to more Delta. I cant break it to my heart, Wish you were here and Not me not I are awesome songs to begin with 👌👌🔥🔥

It's definitely a spiritual experience in this performance. It's like nature and spirits ( if your religious) are coming through musically in the voices and lyrics and music. Just so moving and deep. It's like everyday sunrises and sunsets here in Australia and I guess everywhere on earth. I have to say and I know I'm biased because I'm an Aussie but Australia is such a beautiful place to live and the landscape/sounds/weather etc is very special here. I notice it more so now as I'm getting older. Love your channel man 🙏🔨🥁🇦🇺 Ps- saw my first eastern brown snake for the summer seasonto come (baby one about 400 millimetres, 40 cm long this morning) as I was going out to my ute. He was fine he just slithered away into the garden. It's their country too. So you just leave em alone 😉

Have you noticed the way he plays guitar? His mother said of him. If you close your eyes and listen, you will know him. He has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. If you close your eyes and listen, he will take you on the most incredible journey. ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Listening to what your saying, you're part way there. ❣️

Every time I hear Dr G, no matter whether he's on his own or singing with others, it makes me well up. He is so connected and it just hits you deep in your soul. RIP Dr G and thank you for the soul food

I hadn’t seen that video before. It made me cry. I have been so fortunate in my job as a nurse that I visited many of the Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. I have visited Galiwin’ku where Dr G is from on several occasions. It is beautiful, the whole of Arnhem Land is so beautiful. Thank you for this.

2 cultures connecting on the same level through melody

So deeply spiritual and beautiful.

That was Beautiful.

This really moved me so much. Absolutely beautiful. Where are the tissues........

Delta Goodrem is a great Aussie singer, been around for quite awhile.

Never ever been prouder to be Australian…just beautiful

Blended cultural sounds ... Dr G. = RESPECT.

There is something about Indigenous Australian singers, there is such a spiritual element to it. There was a duo who were on The Voice about 4 seasons back, same. Spiritual is the only word I can think to describe it.

I’ve just seen this but thank you for respecting Gurrumul will always be in our hearts. I wish you could understand what he was singing.

Yes been waiting for this one!!! Love it

His favourite song of mine is Bapa. Amazing!
