The last night I spent in Munduku in June (was it that long ago already?) they had a sing-sing that lasted all night. I only was able to stay up for a few hours of it, but they where dancing and playing these strange flute like things all night. It made a pretty strange sound and there was apparently different songs that they where playing as well as different steps, but in my inexperience, I couldn't tell the difference... It was certainly unique though. It seemed like it was only the old men that knew the songs, so it's very nearly a dieing art. Hopefully some of the younger kids take interest and are able to keep PNG's culture alive.
