The Sound of PNG Pop

“The Sound of PNG Pop” is a wide-ranging look at popular music from Papua New Guinea, showcasing the diversity of sounds across the country’s music scene. Drawing from both established names and rising voices, this playlist weaves together elements of island reggae, string band, contemporary R&B, and traditional influences. Tracks like “Kekeni” by Noel Asi and “Askere” by Hollie Maea highlight a melodic and laid-back style, while energetic tunes like “Black Baby Lewa - Remix” by Nathan Nakikus and Solid Crew bring in modern dancehall flair.

Classic PNG groups like The Paramana Strangers and Barike sit alongside solo acts such as Leonard Kania and George Telek, giving listeners a sense of how the genre has evolved while staying rooted in local culture. Songs like “Island Girl” by Memehusa and “Solo Wara Meri” by Robert Oeka carry that signature island groove, while newer entries like “Sunday Morning” by Banex OA and Cathy Lee reflect a more polished pop production. Whether it’s village harmonies or urban beats, this playlist pulls together the many faces of PNG’s vibrant pop sound.
