		The Bosavi people of New Guinea's Southern Highlands were self-sufficient and undisturbed until the incursion of Christian missionaries in the early 1970s.
		The guitar-band music has a mixture of influences, ranging from some of the traditional vocal elements of the region, the chorus unison of Christian missionary musics, and also some of the rhythmic blockiness of Western popular musics.
		It is largely music that is extinct now, as it was music that accompanied ceremonies and rituals which are gone now.

	Bosavi Rainforest - Steven Feld recordings / RootsWorld Recording Review
		Music as sound, and sound as music: as these layer, animate, audition, project, give flight to feeling and sensation, they weave human sensibilities into the very fabric of the natural world that sustains life as we know it.
		Bosavi music and musical perception are indeed quite distinct from our own, but the music's soulful voices are neither as alien nor as atypical of the human condition as our own cultural conceits might suggest.
		For Feld, guitar band music, which emphasizes vocal harmony and focuses on salient themes of changing Bosavi life, is a contemporary embellishment of the high traditional value accorded music as poetry, an emotionally vivid medium of human expression.

		Steven Feld is Professor of Anthropology in New York University, where he lectures on the Anthropology of Sound.
		The term �anthropology of sound� was coined many years ago by Feld himself, concerned with the fact �that ethnomusicologists were artificially separating the patterning of sound called �music� in the West from the full human and environmental world of sound� (Feld).
		Accepting, stressing and punctuating the compositional will of the sounds he uses, Feld keeps us unsure as to whether we are listening to the forest the way it is or the way he listens to it.

		Abstract: An important facet of popular music in Papua New Guinea is public performance at cultural shows, which provide opportunities for musicians to develop occupational skills, sell their recordings, and reach large and diverse audiences.
		This article explores the 1996 Port Moresby Show in Papua New Guinea as an example of a cultural show that featured popular music but also intermittently included mayhem, violence that threatened at times to endanger musicians and members of the audience and overwhelm the music.
		The description and analysis provide a case study of the multifaceted uses and functions of music in cultural shows and celebrations of society in Papua New Guinea, the perspectives of musicians on the violence that occurred at the 1996 Port Moresby Show, and the nature of the public discourse about the moral panic that resulted.
