About Me |
|
| Gumaroy is a descendant of both Gomilaroi and Wakka Wakka nations of South Western Queensland and North Western NSW.For many years he has been the guest of countless dance groups, schools, festivals and traditional communities in the capacity of Yidaki (didgeridoo), player, cultural educator and performance poet. Having recorded, performed and toured with acts of great reknown such as Waak Waak Jungi (NT), Yalakun Dancers (NT), Wild Marmalade (NSW), Kristian Benton (NSW) and The Zinnies of Ireland to name a few.He is set to return for a second time in July for an extensive tour as song man for the amazingly popular Ganga giri whom he has recorded with on giri's past two albums. Other efforts as a recording artist include Fields of green, Yidaki Yulugi and more recently on Kristian Benton's new album Spirit Alive as song man on two of the songs.Gumaroy was chosen to sing to a huge crowd to bring in the new year of 2004 at the Woodford Folk Festival with crowd favorites Wild Marmalade, he has also closed The Peats Ridge Festival with his cousin.His ambition as a solo artist and for the future is to record and preserve the many precious songs and stories of his people and use them as an invaluable medium to get across the beautiful message of the ancient ways, the ways that still hold him steadfast in todays ever evolving world, the very same ways that have seen his people exist here for over forty thousand years.
