Title: Not Drowning, Waving - The Kiap Song View count: 5047 Rating: 5.0 (12 ratings) Description: This video is from the CD/DVD re-release of Not Drowning, Waving's 1988 album "Tabaran". The lyrics of "The Kiap Song", written by David Bridie, certainly did not endear the band to some of the locals in Papua New Guinea when they toured there. A "kiap" was an expatriot Australian patrol officer in PNG's pre-independence days (pre-1975), but the term is still used today to refer to colonial authorities. The "Tabaran" DVD includes a film clip of every song on the album - including NDW classics such as "Sing Sing", "Rain", "Abebe" and Up In The Mountains". As a bonus, George Telek's performances of "Amidel" and "West Papua" are included. Available at http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,3500780,00.html NDW is Russel Bradley, David Bridie, Tim Cole*, Rowan McKinnon, Helen Mountfort*, John Phillips and James Southall. * does not appear on this recording Message board: http://www.followthegeography.com/message_board David Bridie official website: http://www.davidbridie.com.au Papua Merdeka! http://www.freewestpapua.com Tags: drowning, waving, bridie, papua, guinea, telek, slavery, Author: auspete |
