About the traditional chanting and weeping;
The chanting to the spirits are all in many different approaches to either calling to the death relatives to bring them some peace and comfort or chanting to bring Kula Trade luck to the men that involves the shell money that goes around from island to island in the Milne Bay Province, not just in the Trobriand islands safety during the winds and waves at sea to arrival at various destinations.
The other traditional weeping is for the chief clan only, for their dead relatives. The weeping or chanting is different to the ordinary people. They do have professional mourners who can do the chanting and weeping together. They also chant about his garden and how prosperous he is with his garden skills etc.

Description
Traditional chanting, drums and singing calling out to spirit world and past generations of the dead ancestors for the spiritual connection, protection, comfort, prosperity of the people and nourishment to the land and soil, for rain for planting and good season harvests.
The traditional drums called Kasausau and Katuniniva are used for dancers performed in a circle with full traditional dressings.
The singing and the chanting are all about their Kula trading of valuables for social status and recognition. They go in voyages to and from island to island and the danger they face in the Ocean with high seas so they chants to the spirits to help them surf the rough seas to safety.
