Kathryn Mohrman: Papua, New Guinea
Papua New Guinea, occupying half of a volcanic island just north of Australia, is one of the world’s poorest countries. But it is one of the richest when considering its traditional culture. A sing-sing is a traditional celebratory occasion, with music, dancing, and magnificent visual display. Today a sing-sing is a chance for some of the 800 tribes (with more than 800 languages!) to come together to share local customs, to pass traditional culture to the next generation, and to earn a bit of money from foreign tourists. In August 2018 I spent five days in Mt. Hagen at one of the most prestigious sing-sings in the country, with close to 100 different performing groups.
