Challenges of female musicians in PNG

A sensitive and very controversial topic when raised, yet these beliefs are only questioned when it stands in the way of development.

“We’re from a society that’s so diverse and everybody has their own idea of how a woman needs to be raised,” says Nicole Jeune.

Jeune is the band manager of The Vibe – PNG’s first ever girl band.

Her comment is in reference to female musicians trying out in PNG’s male dominated music industry.
