Black Brothers

Band manager and founder of West Papua group Black Brothers Band, Andy Ayamiseba urges PNG musicians to always commit to their music and learn to sacrifice their time.

Black Brothers is an eclectic band that was the most popular musical group in PNG during the 1980s.

The band is known for hit songs back in the 1980s including Apuse, Permata Hatiku, Hari Kiamat, Terjalin Kembali, kerongcong kenangan, Anita and Wan Pela Meri.

And it was in fact a very packed crowd, as people, still in their national colours, finished their 41st Independence celebrations with the band that set the foundation to the music industry.

38 years ago, the Black Brothers of West Papua, came to PNG on tour and lifted the music scene in PNG and inspired the birth of music recording label Chin H Min.
