Product Description

Album Description

Do not expect to hear Hawaiian guitars, ukuleles and the Hula. Imagine however, a musical odyssey through the South Pacific islands traveling with a rucksack, 200 rolls of tape and a tape recorder. Here are some wonderful examples of authentic South Seas music - unbelievably and yet endangered species. Recorded by David Fanshawe. Originally released in 1981. Slipcase. Nonesuch. 2003.

4.0 out of 5 stars Above average album of Pacific island field recordings, Jan 6 2005

By DJ Joe Sixpack - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: South Pacific: Island Music (Audio CD)

An odd, vibrant selection of rhythmic and vocal tracks from across the Pacific basin. These field recordings reveal an amazing variety of musical styles and approaches. Drummers and percussionists in particular will find this collection a surprisingly rich resource -- some of the rhythms on here are quite amazing and unusual. If you're looking for a way to branch out into older traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian musical culture, this set will certainly help you delve deeper. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A real trip to the South Seas, Feb 3 2011

By Mary Theresa Dietz - Published on Amazon.com

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: South Pacific: Island Music (Audio CD)

This is genuine island music, not Tiki. It was recorded live next to the ocean while the people went about their daily tasks. Beautiful choral singing, exciting drumming and quiet contemplative songs abound in this album. Enjoy!
