Bamboo Band

11:34 AM, Thursday, 18 May, 2006

The first night that we were in Port Moresby we were lucky enought to see a Bamboo Band from Bougainville.

I’m not really sure how to describe what they do, but they have these pvc pipes all taped together into giant pan-pipe type things, which they whack with thongs (yes, flip-flops!) in this amazing, rhythmic music! So wow! It was beautiful, with singing and dancing. Obviously that is a completely inadequate description, so have a look:

LOVE those pink skirts - totally matches your blog.
Pity you couldn't have gotten a closeup of the thongs. I would've paid to see that.
And whee for photos!
