Junior Torres Strait Islander Dancers

Added by Oz Outback

Children from Djarragun College perform dances from Murray Island in the Eastern Torres Strait Islands, accompanied by singing and drumming during a Schools Festival in Cairns, Queensland, Australia: The boys march on stage and perform "Sama iye rofe le" (a song from the Pacific); then the girls come on stage and do their dance; the boys join them and they perform a dance accompanied by traditional chanting and the "Silent Dance" accompanied by just drumming.
