The Lani Singers will be special guests on BBC Radio 3 this Saturday 27th September, when they make an appearance on the World Routes show.
Deeply emotive and compelling, their songs are rooted in the sacred rituals of the Lani tribe – a tribe whose way of living has remained largely unchanged since the Stone Age. But their music has also come to embody a powerful modern day message - the struggle that their fellow people endure under a brutal and illegal Indonesian occupation.

They will perform a live session and interview. Listen in on the radio on 90-93FM, or listen online anywhere around the world through the BBC website from 1500 (3pm) www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/worldroutes/

The Lani Singers are Benny and Maria Wenda. They hail from the remote central highland region of West Papua in the south-west Pacific. Deeply emotive and compelling, their songs are rooted in the sacred rituals of the Lani tribe people – a tribe whose way of living has remained largely unchanged since the Stone Age.
The Lani Singers will be releasing their debut album Ninalik Ndawi in November 2008.
