In the early '50's warfare with neighbouring tribes was commonplace and because of this continued unrest my father, Yagumbu Tuna, travelled to the central Nebilyer to the Ulga people where he had a sister who was married to an Ulga tribesman. He lived with the Ulga people and work for them on their lands.
At the same time my mother, Kepa Kanambu, and her people from the Kusumbi tribe were suffering from a devasting frost in the Nothern Nebilyer and so she also came to live with her relatives in the Ulga tribe. Kongora village Kuolga is the name of the place in which my parents lived and met and this is the place where I was born.

My parents had 4 children in Kongora - Paul Mospi, Michel Yagumbu, Peter Kamunga and myself. However my mother died with my birth and my father struggled to take care of me.
There were no women in the village who could feed me at that time and so my father took me to the Ulga Catholic Mission where I was looked after briefly by a German laymissionary. My care was further entrusted to an Australian lay missionary couple, Peter and Leonie Meere who adopted me along with two other girls, Jacinta and Maria from the Western Highlands area.

My life as an Australian/Papuan New Guinean musician and entertainer, has presented many unique situations of cross-cultural experience which have been strongly motivated through my search of wanting to know who I am today and where I came from.
My spiritual education was stongly embedded in the values and principles of Catholisicim, my continued search for spiritual truth led me to the realization of the oneness of spirital truth in many of the world's great religions. This album is an attempt to inspire listeners to a spiritual message of the oneness in all things and for people to support their artists in all communities;for with out the arts their will be no true civilization.
