Hi,
ReplyDeleteI write from Western Australia.
Tony's sudden passing had touched many people. May his musical legacy touch many more: such as the unique sounds of Sanguma.

The Sanguma - Real Papua New Guinea Musicians, Tony Subam will be remembered by those who witnessed him performing back in the 70's and 80's with the Sanguma
ReplyDeleteTony will be missed by all his American Friends, especially the Warren Family. We want to send our heartfelt prayers to the rest of the band, our second family. We miss you and love you. Daker Warren
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt is sad news of the passing of one PNG's greatest and influential musician. Tony will always be remembered as a pioneer of early contemporary music. He will be sorely missed. Reginald Ledimo(Brisbane)
Does it have to be the death of you to bring the group back together to perform? I have been talking on FaceBook and also discussing with you and Buruka in September/October about getting the band back together. Rest in peace my Brother. I will make sure you live on in our thoughts. Jodam
