Black Brothers was a West Papuan pop group from Jayapura.[1][2] The band consisted of five members,[3] led by Andy Ayamiseba.[4] Their music, sung in Tok Pisin, and originally in Indonesian,[5] included influences from reggae and political elements inspired by the Black Power movement.[3][6] The group went into voluntary exile in Vanuatu in 1979, protesting Indonesian policies in West Papua. They later moved to Papua New Guinea.[1]
Black Brothers were the most popular musical group in New Guinea during the 1980s.[3] The reggae influences of the Black Brothers influenced various other musical groups in Papua New Guinea.[6]
