With their revolutionary songs, the band used the opportunity to advocate for West Papua through their songs together with Free West Movement in the country.

Big Mountain’s lead vocalist Mr Joaquin Quino McWhinney made a call saying ‘Free Papua; we are one people sharing the same rights under this earth’.

Meanwhile, the biggest roar of the night is ‘Baby I love your way, ‘Sweet Sensual love’, where do the children play, ‘Resistance and the new single ‘distance between us’.

“We enjoy playing together for a long time, and really like family. We have a lot of fun playing together but when getting a reception like that in Honiara it inspires us,” he adds.

When people are getting into the music as well, it makes us more comfortable to express ourselves and perform without any boundaries and this is what we want to do.

He said Big Mountain’s messages in its music are very important with aim to give people full life experiences.
