Voices of the Mai Spirits
Two men singing each in one tube of bamboo, which act as voice-alterers. The Mai spirits are represented by men in masks who hide the bamboo tubes under their costumes. Always paired, the young initiated men wore such masks during a ceremony, which had practicaîly disappeared by the 1960s. The text mentions the Sepik River and the floating logs that come down it, as well as men with scarifications. » Hugo Zemp, cf. p.48 of booklet

Deux hommes chantent chacun dans un tube de bambou, qui sert de modificateur de voix. Les esprits Mai sont représentés par des hommes masqués qui dissimulent les tubes de bambou sous leurs costumes. Toujours par deux, les jeunes initiés portaient ces masques lors d'une cérémonie qui a pratiquement disparu dans les années 1960. Le texte mentionne le fleuve Sepik et les troncs d'arbres flottants qui le descendent, ainsi que des hommes scarifiés. » Hugo Zemp, cf. p. 48 du livret
