Sayes Arare
A sonic documentary of kustom, ancestral songs, and stories. Chambri Lakes, Middle Sepik, Papua New Guinea
Sayes Arares is a poetic multichannel visual and sonic documentary that takes the audience deep into the Middle Sepik region of Papua New Guinea. On this journey we hear the Sayes Arares songs: a unique sound and tumbuna (ancestral) belief system held and told in the playing of the mambu (bamboo) flutes.
Extending on a creative relationship that has spanned over 30 years, Sayes Arares is a collaborative project by musicians Gaius Wapi, Pius Wasi, Joachim Mamambi, and David Bridie, with video artist K.Verell and the many cultural artists from Changriman Village, Chambri Lakes.
