Festival Called Sing Sing



Over forty rival tribes battle it out by trying to look more terrifying than their competition at the festival in Papua New Guinea. 

Chimbu tribesmen are covered in black and white skeleton paint hoping to create fear into the other tribes.


Besides the skeleton people we have the lethe Asaro tribe,  known as Mudmen, who dress up in mud and wear mud masks.





The photos were taken by photographer, Trevor Cole from Donegal, Ireland, while at the Paiya village. 

All these tribes gathered at a festival called Sing Sing, where they danced and sang together.
