In the twentieth century in the South Pacific there were a few thousand men who lived as in the Upper Paleolithic (15,000 BC) far removed from modern civilization: the Papuans.

2- Verschueren collectie 1962.
In 1962, Father Jan Verschueren tried to capture as much of the music that once accompanied the Dema processions and rituals, which were once the pinnacles of traditional Marind Anim culture. Because Father Verschueren had lived there since 1931 and spoke the language fluently, he had the confidence of Marind Anim population to record the secret songs.
