Melanesian Music

The new CD 'Ae Tinil Wen Lir: Music of Lihir' - the first CD of music from the Lihir island group, which Kirsty Gillespie recorded, researched and produced in collaboration with the Lihirian Cultural Heritage Committee - was launched in March 2009 on Lihir. The following month it received coverage in a number of newspapers, including The National: http://www.thenational.com.pg/042809/wkender3.php.

The CD is part of a wider project to support Lihirian cultural heritage. See http://www.csrm.uq.edu.au/index.html?page=106698&pid=0.
