Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/kama-wosi.html Traditional music of the Trobriand Islands (Kiriwina Islands) is played on a variety of flutes, from simple curving stems to panpipes. Songs (wosi) are also an important part of Trobriand music, and although everyone may compose and sing, people with special talents are encouraged to develop their skills. A range of songs are filmed and translated here: gardening and sailing songs, kula trading songs, songs of love and enticement, of grief and mourning. The film also reveals glimpses of everyday and ritual life: villages, gardens (and their magic), exchange, harvest dances, children in the rain.a film by Les McLarendistributed by Documentary Educational Resources

Roxy Music is an English art rock group founded in the early 1970s by art school graduate Bryan Ferry (vocals and keyboards). The other members are Phil Manzanera (guitars), Andy Mackay (saxophone and oboe) and Paul Thompson (drums and percussion). Former members are Brian Eno (synthesizer and "treatments"), and Eno's replacement Eddie Jobson (synthesizer and violin). Extant from 1971 through 1983, they reunited for a concert tour in 2001, and have announced that they are recording a new album for a yet-to-be-confirmed release date. Roxy Music attained mainstream popular and critical success in the UK and Europe through the 1970s and early 1980s, beginning with their chart-topping debut album, Roxy Music, in 1972.The band proved to be a significant influence on the early English punk movement, as well as providing a model for many New Wave acts and the subsequent New Romantic and experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. Ferry and co-founding member Brian Eno have also had broadly influential solo careers, and Eno in particular has emerged one of the most significant record producers of the late 20th century, with credits including landmark albums by Devo, Talking Heads and U2. "Avalon", released in 1982, was Roxy Music's eighth studio album, recorded in 1981 at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, it is generally regarded as the culmination of the smoother, more adult-oriented sound of the band's later work. It was a huge commercial success, hitting #1 in the UK (for 3 weeks) and staying on the album charts for over a year. Although it only climbed as high as #53, Avalon is notable as the band's only platinum record in the US. Continuing a Roxy Music tradition, Bryan Ferry's girlfriend Lucy Helmore appeared on the cover wearing a medieval helmet and carrying a falcon. The image evoked King Arthur's last journey to the mysterious land of Avalon. The lush arrangements and synthesizer drenched sound of Avalon later found its way onto Bryan Ferry's solo follow-up album Boys and Girls (1985).---Formatisi a Londra, nel 1972 i Roxy Music emergono come uno dei gruppi più singolari della scena rock britannica, con uno stile sperimentale e coraggioso. Frettolosamente messi nello stesso calderone con la scena glam di artisti quali Bowie, T-Rex e Mott The Hoople, i Roxy Music mostrano una sensibilità diversa già con il loro omonimo album di debutto (1972) che sulla scia del singolo Virginia Plain li porta nella Top 5 britannica. In seguito al secondo -e più acclamato- LP For Your Pleasure (1973), Eno lascia i Roxy Music. Sotto la guida sempre più esperta di Ferry (che nel frattempo porta avanti anche una carriera solista di successo), il gruppo svilupperà un suono sempre meno istintivo ma più elegante e delicato. La metamorfosi è graduale ma costante, con gli album Stranded (1973), Country Life (1974) e Siren (1975). In particolare, gli hits Love Is The Drug (1975), Angel Eyes e Dance Away (1979) sono il risultato della nuova direzione che strizza più di un occhio alla scena disco e soul. L'album Manifesto, con una acclamata copertina progettata da Bryan Ferry con il famoso fotografo Anthony Price esce dopo uno iato di 4 anni nel 1979 ed è l'ultimo con il batterista originale Paul Thompson. Il seguente Flesh and Blood (1980) porta i Roxy Music al n.1 delle classifiche inglesi. In seguito alla tragica morte di John Lennon nel Dicembre 1980, i Roxy Music pubblicano la loro versione di Jealous Guy che li porterà in vetta alle classifiche dei 45 giri su entrambe le sponde dell'Atlantico. Il popolarissimo album Avalon (1982) con il singolo More Than This, chiude la loro illustre carriera. È allora infatti che Bryan Ferry decide di continuare da solista.Nel 2001, i Roxy Music (senza Eno) stupiscono il mondo musicale annunciando una riformazione per una tournee mondiale molto lucrativa e appaiono di nuovo nel Luglio 2005 nella tranche berlinese di Live 8. Tra i gruppi più recenti che ammettono la notevole influenza dei Roxy Music ci sono i Duran Duran, gli Spandau Ballet negli anni 80, Pulp degli anni novanta.
