Hiri Traditional dancers

A young boy from Kido village stands solemnly, his voice rising in a hauntingly beautiful chant of a traditional Motu song. His tone is soft yet filled with sorrow, echoing the deep emotions tied to the ancient memories of the Hiri Motu trade. The kundu drum beats slowly, each strike filled with a sense of loss, as girls sway gracefully in their grass skirts, moving to the rhythm of the drums. Their movements add a bittersweet touch, celebrating a past filled with bravery yet shadowed by sadness. This chant, often performed during the Hiri Moale Festival, serves as a remembrance of the legendary voyages of the Hiri Motu seafarers, the bravest of the Motu Koitabuans, who sailed the waters of the Papua Gulf. It is a poignant memory, passed down through centuries, connecting the present with the deep traditions of the past.
