TRUE ROOTS MUSIC!,
By damian seui - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Music of Oceania: Samoan Songs (Audio CD)
I got this album from my dad and it is truly the roots for Samoans in the world today. I live in Salt Lake City, and it's a pretty churchy town as the world knows and with the translations from my dad and mother I've "Come closer to God" through most of the songs on this album. I know that the album is a bit scratchy and hard to understand, but that is probably the best part of the cd...AUTHENTICITY, and the chants and harmonies of the voices of SAMOA are still heard crystal clear to the open ear.

A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Music of Oceania: Samoan Songs (Audio CD)
Being a full blooded Savaiian,this album surprises me.The ancient songs that are handed down from generations to generations is what this "project" is all about. If your a proud Hamo like me, this album should be included in your family music collection.Much faafetai to those who put it all together!

Excellent introduction to old Samoan songs,
By Mr. V. Refiti - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Music of Oceania: Samoan Songs (Audio CD)
I was very pleasantly suprised by this compilation of old Samoan songs. Two songs were recorded in 1910 when a group of Samoans led by Tamasese visited Berlin. Others were recorded by the radio broadcasting agencies of Samoa and New Zealand, all before 1970. These songs are all of ancient origin or of traditional composition. None feature instruments other than clapping, the voice or the fala. In fact, they sound random and spontaneous. The subject themselves range from glee at the destruction of Manono by German warships, to a creepy wailing song about the impending doom of a village due to some unknown indiscretion, to grieving songs about the Spanish influenza and the Mau movement, to a song based on an old Savai'i myth. If you are at all interested how the old Samoa sounded like before the influence of modern Western music, this collection is an absolute necessity.
