During the turbulent decades of the 1970s and 1980s, Papua New Guinea gained political independence. It was an exciting time for a diverse group of pioneering musicians who formed a band they named “Sanguma”. Australian ethnomusicologist Denis Crowdy argues that the Sanguma band’s music was a vital form of cultural expression in sync with sociopolitical change then taking place in PNG.
