The following music releases have been put together to raise awareness about the situation in West Papua and ensure a lasting legacy for music from the region.
THE LANI SINGERS
Benny and Maria Wenda, founders of the Free West Papua Campaign, perform traditional West Papuan music as the Lani Singers. They have performed at music festivals including Glastonbury, Port Eliot and Musicport, as well as undertaking interviews and sessions on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio London. You can listen to their music and find out more about their story at their website www.thelanisingers.com
Ninalik Ndawi (Freedom Song), their critically acclaimed debut album from the Lani Singers is steeped in the rich traditions of the Lani tribe, and is reflective of the remarkable journey against all odds that they have made, and the ongoing struggle that they and their fellow countrymen continue to endure under brutal and oppressive Indonesian occupation.
