And, our top selling CD for 2018 is….

Back in 2017, we were deeply saddened by the death of Indigenous musician Gurrumul. Throughout his career, this remarkable musician had blended western musical styles with Australian Indigenous culture to stunning effect. His posthumous album, Djarimirri, was completed just weeks before his passing and it’s our number one selling album of last year.
