5.0 out of 5 stars
Uniquely authentic Polynesian music,
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: [..]

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. |
