Calypso Rose and Mayra Andrade step in as Gurrumul cancels tour
Posted on July 7th, 2010 in World Music by Songlines.
Australian Aboriginal sensation Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu has been forced to cancel his upcoming European tour due to illness. The tour included a date at London’s Barbican on July 24, the final concert in a run of seven that included WOMAD Festival, and dates in Germany, Switzerland and France.
Stepping in on the Barbican date is a double bill bringing together the rising Cape Verdean star Mayra Andrade and the Tobagonian calypso legend Calypso Rose.
We wish Gurrumul a speedy recovery.
