My Gosh...your father was a great friend and colleague. He was so proud of you and your music and always wanted me to hear your music as a proud father. His passing was heart breaking to all of us. A true maimai and an intelligent man with vision for Lihir. This sing truly speaks your heart and we can understand that pain. Keep going and do your best in what you Good at. Your daddy is proud of you.

[@Ruth_1111-J7H]

Tonton Malele, as a Papua New Guinean I am so proud of you and those that work hard to create this song and video. It is epic. To me, holding the PNG flag it reflects unity and shows that we are one Country one people. So proud of you and your people. Show the Country that the people of New Ireland will raise this Bird of Paradise flag so high that it will touch the sky🥰💯🔥. I speak blessings to you and keep on putting out great music for us in PNG and the world to enjoy. Much love 💝💛🌱💚🌻🌈

[@KaludiaMari]

Tonton mangi NIPS but you apim PNG Flag is something else,mipla narapla province feel extra special gen knowing you PNG Kumul mangi representa.......Wanbel Ngiape

[@gregorypilau3530]

Wow, this is something else. King Tonton Malele, the legend of New Ireland Province. I actually got goosebumps seeing this clip and imagining the horrifying experience the late Twinhox brothers went through on their fatal day. Fitting tribute indeed Tonton for one of our best bands of New Ireland, the late Twinhox of Kavieng Brothers ❤, RIEP.

[@shanemalai1615]

Hey bro. I had the same reaction but I don't know the full story. If you don't mind me asking what happened to the aforementioned twins? I mean the clip is self evident but olsem a different perspective.

[@gregorypilau3530]

​@shanemalai1615 Bro, I assume you don't know who Twinhox is, but to answer the question, there was another famous band from that island where Tonton comes from. It was called Twinhox of Kavieng, consisting of 2 brothers, which this song pays tribute to. Anyway they recorded an excellent album in 2005, and one of their hit songs called Maten Kandiek broke one of Papua New Guineas main radio station 93 FM plus other stations and locked onto the #1 spot for a total of 34 consecutive weeks. I'm not sure if any other artist broke their record afterward. Their fatal day occurred when the boat they were traveling in from Namatanai, the district township to Lihir Island tragically capsized. They got lost at sea consequently with the 2 brothers going missing to this day. I think the theme of this clip intends to portray that tragedy and generally people lost at sea.

[@TheBlueShirtGuy-uf3ov]

​@gregorypilau3530 Thanks for clearing up the air. Mi no clear lo tokples inside lo disla song but mi blastim raun stap. Have a great weekend family🇵🇬🤝

[@paulatrawanga6331]

Thank you for this tribute, Twin Hox music was legendary in their time🙏🏽much appreciated.

[@newirelandersonly]

To those who wouldn't know the local Language. Melai Uris means "At the deep Ocean" The songwas sung in the Lihir language in reference to the late Twinhox of Kavieng meaning "I'm lost in the deep ocean, my heart was crying out loud but no one was there to rescue me" 💔 This song is didicated to those who stragically lost loves ones at sea or a near death experience at sea. Being lost at sea is a terrible experience 😢

[@malaikiap3813]

thanks, I was about to ask this hoping someone would answer later on

[@menexthaross2143]

Twin Hox (RIP) introduced PNG to Lihir, Tonton Malele has introduced Lihir and PNG to the world. The technical parts especially using sharps/flats to transition whilst keeping a very rhythmic traditional beat truly impressive. Wishing you nothing but all the success in your career, Tonton.

[@steamedbuninvasion5792]

Just learnt yesterday that this song was a tribute to the legendary Twin Hox band, who were tragically lost at sea. Twin Hox forever.
