2. Sesere Eeye This is a beautiful Torres Strait Islands song. I learnt it from Mark O’Leary who learnt it from a Torres Strait Islander. One possible meaning is about a Kingfisher bird that dives into the water and back out again catching a fish. © Welcome to Music 'Sesere Eeye' from 'Blackbelt Ukulele 2' www.welcometomusic.net
