Description

This is a traditional folk song, Eio Tamao from Kapari village, Aroma coast which was revived by Deveni Temu's father and his two cousins in September 1974 and performed by the village girls at the Nugini Art Festival. The song is about this pool called "tamao" where there's a sago species that grows wild in the depths of the forest. In this pool and it has these great big spikes or needles and it's very difficult to access and make the sago. The songs goes to say you are standing there tall and wonderful and think we can't get you, we're coming to get you today. We will come and cut you down, cut down all your spikes, break them all into smithereens and we will get the sago and rush home. Song Lyrics: Eio tamao - tamao rai tamao Eio tamao - tamao rai tamao Kini kini koru koru Matana kini koru tara Rapia mata reko reko ea Maiti kana ori – tepo Maiti kana ori - tepo (Deveni Temu and PNG Peroveta Singers Canberra, February 2023)
