One of the best Explorer discs I own.......2004-09-08

This disc was a very welcome addition to my collection. In terms of the liner-notes it is one of the least informative Explorer Series discs that I own. No play-by-play on each track, and just a general overview that lasts a couple pages so you don't get as much information on the culture as usual. I guess that's okay though, as it's always all about the music anyway, not what someone says about the music.

Also no date of recording either, but these were usually released shortly after being recorded and since it was originally released in 1968 I'll guess the recordings are from '64 through '67.

As for the music itself, it's a mix of the old and the newer. The majority of the tunes are traditional... drumming, small-group vocals, and some larger community singing. This stuff is great and really transports you back in time to their untouched culture, and is in all likelihood extinct now (I am guessing). There is something about "tribal, community singing" that is just magical. It conveys a sense of interconnectedness that you just don't get very often in the modern world. Although even pre-"discovery", the liner-notes make it sound like Tahiti has a violent past within itself, so I don't think it was all a day at the beach.

The women steal the show here.

The newer tunes are guitar & vocals or ukelele & vocals tunes that I really love also. Whereas the old traditional tracks have that raw, real and true earth music sensibility that I love, the more modern tracks are like tropical old-timey music. An island lilt with a touch of sadness.

Now I want to read into Tahitian culture. I know next to nothing about that area, aside from Cook and the Endeavor and the calculated rape of an entire region.

Album Description

RetroMetro is the sound of the modern cabaret. Lush, sexy vocals intertwined with soaring violin and backed by moody, ethereal orchestrations. RetroMetro's first album, Gauguin Women, lands comfortably in the Triple A format- but with a texture all its own. Adult Alternative with a touch of world influences. Emotional ballads that have substance and class.

haunting and possessive-I felt the music, I saw the music........1999-10-11

This CD was a gift. When I listened to it for the first time, I was softly overwhelmed. The years of bouncing between country-rock-Beach Boys-swing-all melted down into a hazy saturday morning drinking coffee with a Siamese cat and absorbing Gauguin Women. An album meant to be shared. (p.s. check out Dan Hicks & The Hot Licks for one more taste treat!)

We received this record as a wedding present. It became the soundtrack for our honeymoon in Maui, and nothing could have been more perfect. Lush, romantic, sensuous - you must buy this record, its a perfect vacation waiting to happen.

A magnificent talent, both as songwriter and singer........1999-11-02

It was no accident that Barbara captured the heart of France. Her lyrics were poetic, yet with that political/social edge one would expect of a woman who knew the struggles of war and racism.

Album Description

Inspired by Gauguin's paintings and his Tahitian journal, Noa Noa, Bruce Adolphe's musical homage colorfully evokes the painters' world. Gauguin was an artist who dreamed of "violent harmonies", who wrote about the "rhythm of gesture", and for whom moonlight streaming through reeds suggested an ancient musical instrument. Scored for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, bass and percussion, the work depicts the lush natural surroundings of Tahiti as well as Gauguin's emotional response to the Parisian art world. Wondering how best to begin composing this piece, Adolphe found the answer in this most musical painter's own words, "Color is the language of the listening eye."
