The Vibe

PNG’s first ever girl-band was invited to perform at the event.

Making the best of their first big gig, The Vibe left an impression on at least 300 delegates, all of whom are important to PNG’s international business relations.

“The Vibe captivated the audience and the guest kept talking about their performances the following day. We even got some more invites to perform overseas,” said Nicole Jeune, the band manager.

And it was not just the singing that stunned the crowd.

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

And in this case, the music industry.

“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.
