When one compares the Ami music of 'Api and his companions to the music from the Trobriand Islands, "their voices seem more rounded and smooth, while the Trobriand Islanders' voices seem rougher. Could this be because the Trobriand Islanders have been less exposed to outside influences?"
跟阿美族歌謠相較，感覺上，「阿比等人的聲音較圓潤，新幾內亞原住民的聲音較粗獷，或許是新幾內亞的人受外來的影響較少？」
