WHEN Melbourne musician and film composer David Bridie visited a refugee camp for West Papuans in 1990, it changed his life forever.
Now years later, Bridie is still working on keeping the region’s music alive.
The veteran musician, who has been in the industry almost 30 years, spent three years creating the soundtrack for the documentary “Strange Birds in Paradise,” a feature about the plight of the West Papuans in their fight for independence from Indonesia.
