It is about absent fathers from the home & metaphorically speaks about urban drift. Mama’s Lament expresses sentiments of the uncertainties of what we’re leaving for our children tomorrow. Granma put us to sleep with it. Inagwe is the lament of an orphan child. It’s sung in the Kiriwina language of the Trobriand Islands The song Oli met us in the studio. It’s the mourning of my sister Oli who left us too early. Jinja is a love song. It’s about being far away from home for long time & missing a special person, especially the cold nights in Melbourne. Ona Lavi is a garden working song from the village. The Sega brothers did a version of this – thanks! Kisim Taim is a song about environment and forestry, concern for the forests of Papua New Guinea due to logging companies and government corruption. Lou Pom is from Mailu, Amazon Bay; a song about the beauty, peace & tranquillity of homeland. When I’m walking along the beaches at home, there are no worries. I miss home! Anamuro recalls the cruelties of the greatest tribal fight the world has ever seen, World War II. Produced by Airi Ingram and Richard Mogu.
