HIRI MOALE DANCE - PART 1, Papua New Guinea

The Hiri Moale dance is a vibrant, rhythmic performance from Papua New Guinea's Motu-Koita people, celebrating the traditional Hiri trade voyages. Dancers perform in parallel lines, with women swaying their hips to pivot grass skirts and men pounding kundu drums while singing Motuan hymns, welcoming the lakatoi (traditional canoe) to shore.
