PAPUAAROUND — Papua Province is unique and interesting with its diversity and traditions. What is most unique among the various cultures is their artistry, which is expressed in song, most of which are upbeat and energetic.

Papuan songs not only contain a collection of rhythmic lyrics, but also contain messages and advice for listeners.

This was discovered by Umm Fatimah Ria Lestari’s research in her journal entitled Didactic Elements in the Poetry of the Papuan People’s Song which was published by the Language Center for Papua and West Papua Provinces.

In the journal it can be concluded that there are educational elements, including :

The intellectual element, in this case is the attitude of being diligent and earnest in studying knowledge, the attitude of being independent, the attitude of protecting nature and its contents, the attitude of never giving up, the attitude of mutual cooperation, togetherness, or cooperation;
The elements of ethics and religion, in this case, are respect for parents, friendship, toughness, and mutual love;
The philosophical element, in this case, is the attitude of love for the motherland (homeland, hometown).

In addition to the three explanations above, Papuan regional songs are also very valuable, in which there are elements of belonging and struggle. Even one of the songs entitled: Sup Mowi Ya, was accused of being involved in the Free Papua Organization Movement.

Historically, the song Sup Mowi Ya is one of the most well-known Papuan regional songs, where this song was composed by a very influential musician in the Land of Papua, Arnold Clemens AP and his music group, Mambesak Group.

Arnold AP is an anthropologist, musician, humanist, academic, and is considered one of the heroes of unity in Papua. Through his songs, Arnold seeks to unify the existence of various tribes in Papua.

After understanding that Papuan folk songs have educational elements and deep meanings, let’s look at the 17 Papuan folk songs and their lyrics as follows :
