the chants in this track come from Madang province from a small village known as Raikos in Papua New Guinea. The artist 'John Madanga' comes from a family that is known for composing traditional music and chants for special events and ceremonies in the village for generations.
The song "Tatereko" is about a particular bird that has been around for centuries, this bird always warns people when danger is coming or when evil spirits and energies are nearby. When it calls out, people walk away or turn in a different direction from its cry. Many stories have proved that this bird has actually saved lives and still is the current watchmen for the people of Raikos in Madang.
