[@williamandrews1964]

Oh my PNG that changed my life. I'll never forget and keep you always in my heart till my last breath. Things have changed but my love remains the same to my adopted country PNG. Hope and pray for all my brothers and sisters of the land that the day of happiness and peace will be restored soon, This song "wan kantri" always made me feel something that I can't express in word. I can also imagine that how much my brothers and sisters are feeling about the country if an adopted son like myself could feel after all this happening.

[@tikikonakete1992]

Fijian here ...i dont know the meaning but i feel its deep. love it.

[@Goldhitz]

Bula Fijian brother.this song is sung in Pidgin English and it talks about National Unity. Chorus.."Papua New Guinea you me must come up one nation" translates to "Papua New Guinea let's become one nation,one country,one people,one family etc etc.. This song was written and recorded back in 1990 when PNG was going through a civil war ie,PNG army fighting with our own Bougainville brothers/sisters..So the song is appealing for PEACE and UNITY,...and for the war to end. Thank you for stopping by Fijian bro. Vinaka,Vinaka Vakalevu.

[@MikesKalep]

A true national song that binds and unites a nation of 800 tribes...a song for every independence day celebrations and every day that we are down . Great composition by Glen Low & performed by the great Barike Band

[@isaacpaul8365]

These song is a legecy.It will remain forever in the years to come.Plus no one sings it better the the original legendary band Barike band.Thankyou for these masterpiece.

[@ziammann-wf9pi]

It says Papua New guinea we must remain as one nation. One traveling the length and breath of the country and sees different tribes and cultures with Bouganville trying to break away from the country. The song is calling on all people to remain as one nation. Papua Niugini yumi mas stap wan nesen. Wan kantri.

[@eliudadubosr604]

Agreed brother 🙏

[@ShirleyNorum-id6gd]

Crying to this song in 2024. It's 17th September. Was expecting local artists to sing this on the 49th Independence but didn't come across one. This song will never die

[@doreenfaibson8173]

Happy 49th Independence PNG 🇵🇬🇵🇬, no matter what this nation is going through, we will always remain, one people, one nation, one sol wara, one family. God bless PNG

[@GibsonAliHolemba]

This is a true song for unity and peace in PNG. Our leaders many times forget the call of duty to serve the people and unite the country from outside exploitation. This is the real meaning of PNG National Pledge and Anthem. Tear drops when you a abroad and listen to this song and compare with what is going on in PNG today with dying basic services like health and education.

This grate song was written by the Late Glen Low and Kanai and the boys did a magnificient job in puting it together. Can someone beat it?? I bet no one cuz we too busy composing love songs. Best ever by any band. Keep the Barike fire alight Juan Low and uncle Don.

[@baekwatolo]

[@simeonbouro4514]

In all my years listening to music from the Pacific Islands, I have never come across a song that unites peoples lives in time of crisis. This song ranks as the best composition in pidgin and it should be the anthem of PNG. Kudos to Barike . This song must be taught in all schools across the country. Thank you Barike

[@deantulia3227]

Years have gone by but this song have never lost its taste. Truly a masterpiece from Barike! Thank you!

[@trevorwaninara7570]

Wan Kantri by Barike Band sang by Kanai Pineri the national anthem that united whole of PNG when the Bougainville Crisis was on and PNG hosted the 9th South Pacific Games. A song that has meaning!!

I was in png in 91 and 92 studying. Back then, I was very inspired by this song... Today we crossed paths...and it warms my heart even more. I am gonna download it for sure.

[@kingsleyrui3052]

"UNITY" alone is a very big word just like we say "LOVE" is a big word but then again, "unity" is just a word. A true definition/example of Unity can only be revealed through a country like PNG. This unity song says it all, it is our strength in the darkest of hours as a country and can really bring out the true patriotic spirit in just every common man. Tonight I share the same tears and and sentiments with you my fellow countrymen/women but I'm also happy and proud of my country, we've got no time to loose complaining about our past, but we have time now in our present to create a future we desire. Our past can only be appreciated and used as our stepping stone. God Bless Papua New Guinea

[@derrickisapi1012]
