MUSIC IN PAPAU NEW GUINEA!
We’re helping a fellow-blogger raise funds for a new school in Papua, New Guinea and sharing great information about PNG culture at the same time! This article allows you to learn more about life, music, culture and some of the beautiful traditional crafts on this exciting island.
WHAT'S COMING UP!
In July, we’ll bring you more down-home fun with homemade musical washboards, dancing limberjill and limberjack dolls as well as instructions for turning a comb into a kazoo!
And, here’s a heads up that we’ll be going down under in August. Our August in Australia monthly page will give away two real, full size didgeridoos again! We’ll also make some Aussie style clapsticks called bilma and have more songs, surprises and great give-aways right here.
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
Stay cool and keep a happy song in your heart!
