| Description: | | Posus Stringband of Ponam Island is a performing group of Ponam Island that lies off the north coast of Manus Island.
As with the Stringband music genre in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands, instruments of acoustic guitars, ukuleles with voices are combined in harmonised song in vocal performances. In Manus Province, stringband music is closely tied to community identity, local events, farewells and cultural celebrations.
The song list of the 17 audio recordings are to be determined and songs and singing in Poman, Tok Pisin and English in traditional Manus stringband style. Some traditional instruments like garamut drumming.
