To those who wouldn't know the local Language. Melai Uris means "At the deep Ocean" The songwas sung in the Lihir language in reference to the late Twinhox of Kavieng meaning "I'm lost in the deep ocean, my heart was crying out loud but no one was there to rescue me" π This song is didicated to those who stragically lost loves ones at sea or a near death experience at sea. Being lost at sea is a terrible experience π’

My Gosh...your father was a great friend and colleague. He was so proud of you and your music and always wanted me to hear your music as a proud father. His passing was heart breaking to all of us. A true maimai and an intelligent man with vision for Lihir. This sing truly speaks your heart and we can understand that pain. Keep going and do your best in what you Good at. Your daddy is proud of you.

These is it.These is the kind of music we need.Its Real,its pure.Its PNG music mixed with real PNG culture.These is what the world needs to see and hear.Thanks Tonton and your crew for your creativity in showing the world what PNG can offer in terms of tourism and music.Adding on also thanks for bringing little positivity out to the world that only less than 10% of the population do violence and corruption.Theres more that PNG can offer than just violence and corruption as these video potrays.Great people great musicπ΅π¬

Tonton Malele, as a Papua New Guinean I am so proud of you and those that work hard to create this song and video. It is epic. To me, holding the PNG flag it reflects unity and shows that we are one Country one people. So proud of you and your people. Show the Country that the people of New Ireland will raise this Bird of Paradise flag so high that it will touch the skyπ₯°π―π₯. I speak blessings to you and keep on putting out great music for us in PNG and the world to enjoy. Much love πππ±ππ»π

Wow, this is something else. King Tonton Malele, the legend of New Ireland Province. I actually got goosebumps seeing this clip and imagining the horrifying experience the late Twinhox brothers went through on their fatal day. Fitting tribute indeed Tonton for one of our best bands of New Ireland, the late Twinhox of Kavieng Brothers β€, RIEP.
