These people are from Bouganville which fought a bitter war for independance from PNG (which government behaved dreadfully as a puppet of RioTinto) - watch "The Coconut Revolution" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7mca657qbXVe2g.html

Tourist is weird and sad what it’s got them doing for the whitey

Haha.. cool.. I never saw them, but I grew up in Moresby from 1977 to 1983.. 😎

Absolutely because Bougainville islands are geographically part of Solomon Islands and we do share similar cultural values.

most welcome

Zorgoon -- They have to be exhausted after performing.

Bamboo pipes

No but the instruments have different names in different countries

Tumas is Pidgin for "too much" or "very". The instrument is called "Pipes and paddles" and can be made from bamboo, PVC, etc

In the Solomon’s we call it bamboo band

Bitch please let me see you try bring real bamboos into Australia then I'll let you be a judge

bradley tsivele I understand the sensitivity of bamboo to changes in humidity and temperature because I've made close to 2k instruments out of the wonderful stuff. Some of them travel internationally with a performer from Australia, as well as one from Germany and another from Hawaii and one from Brazil. And many other people all over the world. They have been to every continent, even Antarctica. Bamboo needs to be harvested at the right time, cured properly and usually wrapped with twine. They also need to be oiled regularly or lacquered/varnished. The right species is equally important. They require acclimation as any fine wooden instrument does... It used to bother me when I would see PVC instruments but I don't care anymore what materials people use, just don't call yourself a bamboo band when you lazily use PVC. It's insulting to those of us who actually use bamboo to make instruments and take the necessary steps to preserve them. Bitch (lol).

solid dude solitude silent groove Your point is understood, but possibly a bit snarky and unnecessary.

just how do u know that..... as if u know how to make one.... im from there and i know what bamboos they use to make it... and the costumes i know how they are made....plus i have a sample of it... you people judge too quickly...

solid dude solitude silent groove -- So this is similar to what the Blue Man Group use in the U.S. They also make some if there’s where they will slide to different lengths to vary the tones.
