Hanua Merona rocking Motuan coastline

There has been noise from the basement.

Yes! CocoMan's Basement (CMB) dropped its latest song Hanua Merona only last week waking up fans, especially along the Motuan coastline.

Hanua Merona in the local Motuan dialect means “a village boy” (Ples mangi in Tok Pisin)

The song is mostly sung in Motu and focuses on the daily life of a young man from the area.

“Basically, we decided to bond all Motuan villages through this daily lifestyle of the young man – his life in the village, how he should be. So it’s coming from the young man’s perspective,” Mike (CMB) said.

He added that in this age, many have strayed away from families, doing drugs and alcohol instead.

“Hopefully, this song encourages them to be proud of where they are from – their village, culture, tradition, family,” he adds.

Hanua Merona is one song in which CMB has gone a bit more contemporary with the sound giving a more traditional feel to it.

The song was recorded under the B-RAD studios.

The music video was shot by NMP, a snippet of which was already released.

CMB says the full video should be out by the end of this month.
