Late last year, this blog predicted Before The Next Teardrop Falls - Makali to be the top PNG latest Music for 2022 and 2024.
In fact, the song has surpassed 10 million views - it has gained about 1 million views in, under, 6 months. At this trend, the song will, probably, hit 7 million views by the end of 2021 and 40 million by 2024. It exceeded expectations!
Sean Asina gave the background to the most popular artist on YouTube...
Mr Makali is a Papua New Guinean artist and the girl singing with him goes by the name Beix. Beix is Makali's younger sister - I was informed recently about that. The language they are using to sing the 2nd verse is Motu, a local PNG dialect.
Hiri Motu, a slightly different form of the language, is the third official language of PNG. The other two official languages of PNG are English and Tok Pisin, or Pidgin. PNG has 850 different local dialects and Motu is just one of them. Motu is spoken by Motuans, living in and around Port Moresby.Of over 2,200 comments on Makali's YouTube Channel, here are the most liked comments.

Unbelievable voices!!! More than beautiful... I'm gonna play the song this Sunday (17 Aug 2018) on IFM 102.2 in South Africa!Crystal Neel
This young lady is absolutely MAGNETIC!!💝Seems her name is BEIX. I can’t quit listening and watching this shining star!💖Rick Chambers
They sound great together too!
I don’t know why she is such a well-kept secret but this kind of elegant beauty needs to be out there more for the world to admire! I don’t even know the words but could listen to her sing in her language for an hour on replay! This is something that exceeds talent but is a bright shining gift!💎
I hope no one gets her to deviate from her pure natural elegance by the wrong kind of music.

This is the latest PNG most is trending on YouTube, with an international audience. At nearly 6 million views (at the time of this post), it's gonna explode to 7 million views before the year 2019 ends. It is likely to further top the YouTube searches for PNG Latest music 2020. I would be surprised if it exceeds 10 million views in mid-2020
Fantastic work by a PNG artist!
Biutiful little angel...lovely voice.Beix you will go far.
