Papua New Guniea

People who originated in Africa 50,000 to 70,000 years ago traveled to Southeast Asia & then to New Guinea. These Aborigines then crossed a land bridge from Asia to Australia which is believed to have existed about 45,000 to 50,000 years ago. The Aborigines share heritage with the native peoples of Papua New Guinea. About 8,000 years ago the Torres Strait Islands were formed when the land bridge between Australia & New Guinea was flooded by rising seas. Since then they have been separated, but their earliest traditional heritage is Papuan.

This music is from the Cape York Peninsula of Australia, the Torres Strait Islands, & southern Papua New Guinea. This is the real music before Europeans came to the area.
