Yes, the song origin is Southeast Asian- it comes from the Solomon Islands, which are next to Papua New Guinea. I didn't describe what Afunakwa looks like because there are no pictures of her. The video showed a child playing on desert sand dunes, which are not found on the Solomon Islands- it's a tropical rainforest climate.
