Title Peroveta Ia Baineme Torea - Motu
Description Peroveta Motu Christmas Song - Ia Baineme Torea.
There are two vocal parts in Peroveta singing. The parts that the women sing is called Pere and the parts that the men sing is Maru.
So Pere is the most important and with Pere there is a woman who begins it and that the most important because she sets the tone on how the singing is going to go.
In this group Hane Dietz known as Biaguna, leads the singing or the descant for the singing.
It is known as Perepere in Rarotongan, Cook Islands and in Hula it is known as Verage which literally means you climb. The example is in the song Sivarai Namo where Wari Powell was doing the Perepere or the climbing part.
The song is about the time of census in the bible in the Christmas at the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ making reference to Maria that's Mary and the words mamoe ireguna about the shepherds out in the field and an angel appeared to them.

This group was formed in 1999 by diaspora community members in the ACT and since then they have performed at events such as the National Folk festival, as well as meeting regularly at the Holy Cross Anglican Church in Hackett, not only to learn and sing Peroveta songs, but also share Papua New Guinean culture, language and music.
The Sene traditional Papuan song and dance and Peroveta “prophet” singing introduced by the LMS South Sea islander missionaries from Cook Islands in late 19th century. The Canberra group responds to recordings at PARADISEC archive in MG1 & IC1 collections and performances are in various languages namely Hiri Motu, Hula, Keapara (Aroma, Keakalo), Mailu from around the Port Moresby area mainly Hanuabada village in the National Capital District along the southeast Motuan coastal villages and further towards the Rigo and Abau districts of Central Province.
