| Description: | Recording provided to be deposited by ToWeieve, Viviran Village, Toma LLG. Artist: New Lakwas Stringband Title: 'Lau Vasi' Recorded by Studios of Paradise Super Hits, Port Moresby, NCD. PNG The New Lakwas Stringband is a legendary group from the Port Moresby area, renowned for their contribution to the classic Motuan string band sound. Their famous recording in 1976 was the classic Motuan "oldie" "Lau Vasi," which remains a staple in Papua New Guinean music. The remake inspired by the cover was sung by Gwadus Band of Hanuabada village, NCD. During the mid-1970s Port Moresby, group helped define the sound of blending traditional Motuan melodic patterns with the instrumentation of the era's string bands. Their recordings are cherished for their cultural significance. The New Lakwas String Band continues to be remembered by contemporary listeners and musicians as a foundational influence on the development of urban string band music with classic hits and golden oldies songs in the National Capital District and around Papua New Guinea.
