The Sounds of a Papua New Guinea Tribal Folk Band in Chimbu Province!

On my last day at the Wii Towai Eco-lodge, the Black Eyes Band visited and put on a concert. I was told that they play Nauro Tribal Folk Music and I had no idea what that could mean, even though face paint usually lends itself to metal music. While I love metal, I was thankful it was quite the opposite as I would hate to be tempted to request they cover some Korn or Deftones. They plugged into a generator to power the vintage amp and their guitars. It was like those backyard performances I participated in way too many times. It's hard to describe the music especially with the use of the incredibly unique "Bamboo Band" instruments that made up the rhythm section. Long pieces of bamboo were cut to different lengths, tied together, and smacked with sandals like a misbehaved child. I've never seen anything like it. This was a highlight of my time with the Nauro Tribe and I wish I could find high quality recordings of this band. Someone sign them, please. Or actually please don't, you would only ruin it.
