I've not said she is a direct descendent of Afunakwa. But she is from the same group of people, the Are'Are'.

Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It isn't Afunakwa, but Miriam Kaehanisiwa. Same people (the Are'Are) and same lullaby tradition but different singers.

She’s singing with them.. wether she’s aware of it or not.. but I’m sure she was well grounded ❤️😌

Will you do one when you visit?

Yes I will! :-)

Wow, thank you for your reply and the fascinating translation. I understood it was something to do with the ancestor snake, is that in there too?

@ Christopher Conder: There was no mention of snake in the song however myth passed down through our are'are oral history had a snake called "warutahana" that was chopped up into several pieces and the different pieces ended up in different parts of are'are forming the basis for the different tribes. This story is often incorporated into different aspects of of daily lives of the people to either teach people a lesson or reminder people of situation. I grew up being told these myths.

Que emoción, me remueve el alma, tanto la Abuela como la música y la letra, mi Padre está mas cerca de irse de este mundo, me siento algo abatida por no poder ayudarlo como me gustaría por la distancia entre otras situaciones. Aunque ellos pidan que no lloremos por ellos es cuasi imposible. Le veo tan indefenso, delgado y sin fuerzas aunque su mente funciona muy bien, le hablo de su infancia, de sus amigos y vuelven a brillarle sus ojos, se emociona, sonríe. Está solito ahora, en el mismo lugar donde nació

Fantastic thank you so much!

Your grandma is amazing. I love listening to her song. :)

Thanks Tobias. I would love to one day. In fact, next year there is a chance I will be going to India, but to Chennai, which seems pretty far away.

Go with Gods blessings on your adventure

Indeed. There is an interesting article by Hugo Zemp, who took the original field recordings here: www.posgrado.unam.mx/musica/div/pdf/GilBraga/The%20an%20ethnomusicologist%20and%20the%20record%20business.pdf

Thank you for your comment Richard. As I made clear above, Miriam agreed to this being uploaded. I am making no money from this video. The only money I made from the whole trip was a small amount for one article I wrote. Whilst the tribe did not ask for payment for hosting me, I was able to give gifts both to Miriam directly and to the wider tribe. Whilst I don't want to be so crass as to talk figures, I can assure you it was considerably more than I earned for the article. I therefore feel comfortable that there was no exploitation going on.

Shut up Richard

Hahahaha oooohhhhh reallyyyyyy

Hello Peter, thank you for your comment. I strongly feel that calling strangers stupid on the internet helps make the world a better place for us all. Without meaning to put my stupidity under any doubt, I would explain that members of the 'Are'Are tribe from this village are in the group Narasirato, who have had international success. I met them first in England before eventually winding up visiting them. There are quite a few of them and I'm pretty bad with names and faces, hence asking if we had met before in England. Interestingly, the musicians in the Solomons I spoke to didn't love Deep Forest at all. I'm sure you'd like to support independent (if stupid) music journalism, so I'll let you buy a copy of fRoots magazine to find out more. It's issue 390 you'll want, available here: www.frootsmag.com/shop/backissues/index.html#BI410-11 Best wishes to you.

Perfect response to a needlessly aggressive person, well played. Thanks very much for recording this, the opportunity to experience different cultures in this way is so vital to fostering a shared understanding of the world.
