Blasius to Una

One of the recordings that I'm digitizing is of a New Guinea musician known as Blasius to Una. He even has a (very) short Wikipedia entry (here). He seems to be a bit of a character. He sings and speaks in Pidgin, so sometimes English words pop up in his music. He also is quite fond of talking in the middle of his songs--very much like an American folk musician might make jokes and talk as a part of his performance.

Anyway, his songs are a bit more "Westernized", if I may use that term. Here's one that I particularly like titled "Kunai Dumdum".

Thank you! I have been wanting digitized versions of BtU since .mp3s came out. This takes me back to old days! Will you be posting these? I am looking forward to black submarine!

I think it's great that you want to hear Blasius to Una again! I'm not certain of the copyright restrictions, and I feel a little uncomfortable posting the entire set of songs without his permission. However, I'll post Black Submarine since you asked for that one.
