"Mamua" (Consume)Chant : Central Nakanai (Kaulong tribe)

Описание: There are significant ethnic distinctions between population groups in different parts of the country of Papua New Guinea. The country is unusually fragmented, by terrain, history, culture and language.
Traditional literature and music were and still are popular functions and integral parts of the whole way of life of people of Papua New Guinea with active roles in the process of upbringing, initiations, and socialisation of children and youths to live in their villages and tribes peacefully and harmoniously. 
Storytelling and singing are the two most popular things people do in their daily life. In the evenings after meals and in the moonlight the parents and elders of the village tell their children and youths stories from their tubuna (ancestors) folklore and mythology.
Stories about how their tribe originated, how the coconut tree came about, why thunders roar and lightning explodes in the sky, where do their relatives go when they die. They also love to sing and dance to their kundu drums and garamut and to dress and decorate themselves with feathers and plumes of Birds of Paradise, kina shells and necklaces, possum teeth and beads and to paint their faces and bodies with traditional paint of bright colours like red, yellow, blue, and black. Feasting and singsing is a popular part of their traditional life.
