Gurrumul
Amazon Price: $9.49 (as of 05/27/2012)
Beautiful is the only word needed to describe the voice of Geoffrey Gurrumul. I first heard this man sing in 2008 and honestly could not get enough. His voice is hauntingly beautiful. He sings in his native language and in english but you really do not need to know the words. He has been described as having the best voice ever recorded in this country.
For You
Amazon Price: $25.73 (as of 05/27/2012)
This album was recorded after Casey's became the winner of the second season of Australian Idol. She was a mere 16 years old at the time but the power and passion in her voice will amaze you. Her first album is definitely a "keeper.
Tribal Voice
Amazon Price: $40.65 (as of 05/27/2012)
This is a genuine Australian rock album. Hard hitting music incorporating traditional instruments and aboriginal band members telling their stories. This is the modern way to tell the dreaming.
