Tahiti: The Gauguin Years: Songs And Dances Digital MP3 Album

This music on this record is Old Timey Polynesian. Yes, there are love songs and hulas here, but also war chants, histories, prayer, and protest songs. The ukulele and guitar can be heard, but so too shell trumpets and the nose flute; old drums made of shark’s belly or sting ray; and hand-clapping, thigh-slapping, foot-stomping body percussion.
