KTK02: TAHITI L'ENCHANTERESSE (Festival)

Ia orana Tahiti

Hi everybody!
Today, we'll fly over Tahiti in a little hydroplane with our guest Jacques Chegaray. This guy was a world traveler since the 30's and off course a music lover. He plublished many books from his trips including one with the same tittle as this 7' from 1959 we got today. TAHITI L'ENCHANTERESSE (FX451222M) is a great ethnomusicology document, it introduces you to various styles in tahitian music. Traditionnal polyphonic ensembles such as Hyménées de Papara and Hyménées de Mataeifa,  folk from mid 50's: ukulele, backing vocals and sweet voice by Titi. Also, the indigenous choir of Makatea recorded for the first time here. The recordings are a little rough sometimes but we hope you'll enjoy!
After two weeks looking around, we'll soon listen to tahitian bands of various style some groovy stuff and some personnal favourite from the airport of Papeete! Still we won't forget to have some great traditionnal music. Thanks for choosing KTK airlines.
