The Culture Link Tribal Legacy
They said Lae and Morobe was to dangerous for tourism, we never believed in negative vibes, We sailed our canoes during the Huon Coast Canoe voyage from tribal roots of the Waria Valley along the pristine coast line, untouched Fly group of islands with its white sandy beaches, to scientific research at the high biodiversity hotspot of Kamiali Wildlife Management Area and then to Bula Falls and finally Lae City. From Niigata Prefecture in Japan, Bui Generation from Waria Valley and the Huon Coast toured Japan, performing to over one hundred thousand school kids in Tokyo, Kawasaki, Sado Island, Mitske, Nagaoka, Saitama, Narita, and Niigata in Japan. Sing Sing Troup toured Taiwan for three months at the I-lan County International Children's Folklore Festival, Producing the first ever international Sing Sing Festival in 2007 for Village Development Trust, bringing artist like Not Drowning Waving from Australia, Legendary Sanguma, Tambaran Culture, and Sacred tradition performances from all over PNG. We received return cultural exchange visits to the Huon Gulf Coast and Lae city for over 15 years, as part of the adventure Building Program, building over 12 School buildings, donating school supplies and most of all experiencing the timeless subsistence life style of the Rural Huon Coast in Morobe Province, Those who have visited include people form, USA, United Kingdom, Ireland Scotland, Japan Singapore, Jamaica, and Australia.
