Larry Gurruwiwi & Malawurr
Our Festival evenings of stunning free music get started with force of nature Larry Gurruwiwi. A multi-instrumentalist with an incredible voice Larry is also acknowledged as the greatest traditional yidaki virtuoso player in the world. It’s a role he inherited from his late father, the legendary Galpu Clan leader, Mr D Gurruwiwi. Larry continues his father’s legacy working with his brothers and extended family under the name of Malawurr, which is the Galpu name for family.
