That a sightless man from a remote, disadvantaged Aboriginal community has done so on a right-handed acoustic guitar played left-handed and thus strung upside down - the way he taught himself aged six - singing in the language of his Gumatj clan, a subset of the Yolngu people, and refusing to talk to the press except through his honorary Yolngu brother Hohnen "He's not shy; he just thinks his music speaks for itself" beggars belief.
