about

Bushman’s Bay, Gaua
Recorded at Dolap village

This song is about the process of becoming a chief. The man has to learn the values of Gaua and complete many rituals and ceremonies. He has to climb the volcano, and go through the special water in the caldera lake to find a special tree where some more sacred rituals take place before returning to the village as a chief.
