Women welcoming guests with Kundu Beats at 5-mile Kona Church, Lae, Morobe Province

IN every gathering anywhere in Papua New Guinea, at least there seem an evidence of a local touch of the event.

Here in Lae, Morobe Province at 5-mile Kona Church where the Mindset Training Graduation ceremony has seen a total of 120 women and 60 men graduating and the dancing mothers decided to welcome the guests with kundu beats in their traditional attire. 

This trend of putting in a traditional touch to any event is less noticed, rather a normal thing within the society but this means something to those who are concerned about preserving and promoting the cultural values and dances.

Happy viewing!
