Liner notes
George Mamua Telek’s songs and his hauntingly beautiful voice, traverse many musical styles capturing the spirit of the Tolai people of Papua New Guinea.
Blending contemporary grooves with Melanesian rhythms, the music is enriched with island harmonies and textured environmental sounds.
Whether it is through his work with the village-based Moab Stringband or his collaboration with Australia’s David Bridie (ex Not Drowning Waving), Telek is one of the most important performers in the Pacific region.
