On 27 November 2015, Ben Takap the NBC's Audio Archives Producer caught up with few of the Tabamramu dancing troupes in a very special occasion in Port Moresby.
These young PNG born and raised West Papuan were part of the organizing team for the 18th Anniversary Celebration of West Papua New Guinea National Congress (WPNGNC) Independence Proclamation. The WPNGNC leaders, under the leadership of Mr.Michael Kareth the President and late Mr. Francis Mirino the General Secretary made this declaration on the 27 of November 1997 in the office of the President of European Parliament, Brussels Belgium.
This occasions was very unique because for the first time in the history of the celebrations, the young people were given the opportunity to showing their leadership capabilities by taking charge of the event. And they really prove they are capable..
This is a new experience for most of these young West Papuans cause, the only contribution you see from them were performing Contemporary and Traditional West Papuan dance with the Tabamramu Cultural group.
