5.0 out of 5 stars Uniquely authentic Polynesian music, Jun 20 2010

By No name - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Rapa Iti (Audio CD)

I love this CD. It's a fine example of Polynesian singing, with all its rich polyphony and more. What distinguishes this music is that Rapa Iti is extremely isolated. Consequently, the music has largely escaped much of the influence of the 20th century. The CD includes some hymns that are obviously influenced by missionary tradition, as well as older forms of music.

Rather than try to describe it, I can direct you to some other sources.

1. There's an interview with the producer here: [..], and you can hear some sound clips.

2. I rather like this review, brief as it is: [..]

3. Wikipedia has articles on Rapa Iti and the Tahitian Choir here: [..]

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique and excellent, Feb 1 2005

By Edward Falis - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Rapa Iti (Audio CD)

I heard this years ago, and was simply awestruck by it. The music is very difficult to describe. But it's very moving.

Well worth picking up.
