Yolngu Song to Play Across America for One Week

Indigenous singer-songwriter Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu has scored a deal with a major coffee store chain in the United States.

For a week in July, Yunupingu’s single “Wiyathul” will be played in more than 7,000 of the company’s stores and will be available online for free.

Yunupingu sings almost exclusively in his Yolngu language.

Wow. Imagine that … Yolngu language heard across America for one week!

Congratulations Geoffrey!
