Another great album from the Prophet (Charles Duvelle) collection, recorded in 1974. Tonally, some of the music is very atypical from the rest of the music I have heard from New Guinea, particularly the singing, though the Trobriand Islands are seperated by quite a distance so it makes sense. Some of the singing reminds me of singing from Bulgaria oddly enough. Booklet included.
Also, here is a (very good) film from the late 70's made about the music of the Trobriands, Kama Wosi: Music in the Trobriand Islands.
