Rebellion music

For a couple of years now I have been interested in the rebellion music from the Tuareg tribe in the western part of the Sahara desert. Recently I gained an interest for other forms of music created to rebel against oppressive governments. That is where west papua entered my field of view. I was wondering if music plays a part in the resistance against the Indonesian government. If so, what artists or particular songs are most important and where can I find and support their work?

A racist movie about Indigenous West Papuans officially produced by Indonesian police will be showing in national cinemas next week. West Papuans are depicted as tribal war maniacs - at one point called "primitive and radical" by the 'heroic' police.

hey! I need help for a cultural videogame about your region

Hey y’all!

I’m doing a university project that collects information from countries all over the world to create an educational videogame Wario Ware style! The idea is to collect through many local subreddits around the word interesting information, facts, traditions or just fascinating stuff from your country. It really can be whatever! from history stuff, manners, toys to food dishes. Real cultural information that is deeper than typical trivia found on traveling and touristic websites. It’s quite an open question but can be anything that come to your mind that you thing is worth sharing with the world.

All that info is going to be used to create the questions for the videogame quiz system! Hope it inspire you to let us know your culture and make the game richer. Many many thanks for your help! :)
