The search for the truth behind Deep Forest's 'Sweet Lullaby' | The Pacific
In the early 1990s French group deep forest had a worldwide hit with "Sweet Lullaby". It heavily samples "Rorogwela" a Solomon Islands lullaby sung by Afunakwa of Baegu, East Malaita. For decades it was falsely attributed and the people of Baegu have never seen royalties.
Chrisnrita Aumanu-Leong and producer Nick Sas travelled to Baegu to trace its origins as a new fight for recognition begins.
‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea.
