1998 saw Yothu Yindi recording their fifth album One Blood in
Dublin and Bavaria, Germany. The band then toured Germany with
Peter Maffay on the German rock star's ambitious Encounters tour.
With special guests Liam O'Maonlai from Hothouse Flowers and Simple
Minds' Jim Kerr, One Blood was a polished selection of songs old
and new. The album featured dramatic new recordings of the band's
earlier Australian hits plus new songs like One Blood (co-written
with Paul Kelly) and traditional Yolngu songs of the Gumatj clan
performed by tribal elder and ceremonial leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu.
