In this edition of Klaatu Barada Nikto I am featuring Straalen McCallum singing "Wiyathul", an incredibly beautiful song from his "A Little Faith" album. This song literally brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it. It is written in Galpu, an aboriginal dialect. "Wiyathul" has a very interesting history. It was composed by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu who is an Australian Aboriginal. He was blind. Sadly, Geoffrey just passed away at the age of 46, on July 25, 2017. Safe journeys to all the fans of Klaatu Barada Nikto, wherever you may be.
