Incredible compilation of traditional Tahitian music.......2004-01-25

This is a compilation of a huge contest in Tahiti held every year. So there is a lot of variety on this cd, from pure percussion with the traditional slit drums, to singing. In particular, the "Himene Tarava Tamarii Pirae" is exciting, a large group of traditional singers with a very wonderful sound. If you have ever been to the Polynesian islands and want to recall the amazing music, this is a pleasing collection--is there really anything like Polynesian chanting and singing? Phenomenal.

Enjoy the best live performances!.......2000-08-24

Every July, singers, drummers and dancers from all of French Polynesia compete to be named 'the best'. This CD is a compilation of 2 years' competitions (1982 & 1986.)

I just returned from 2 weeks sailing French Polynesia, and have been buying CDs since I hit Papeete. This in one of the best (of the ~20 that I have heard.) There are a few dropouts and some clipping, but the miking and mixing are excellent. This is not one of those 'it must be poorly recorded to be authentic' recordings! Particularly pleasing are some of the polyphonic singing performances, which I've found on few recordings, yet are so traditional in the culture. There are a few rough performances, but most are quite polished.
