KTK20: MAKE MINE TAHITIAN

Papeete nightlife in the 60's
Ladies & gentlemen, we're still having a very nice time visiting Tahitian night life with our host Mr Eddie Lund. We dig it so much that today we got more music than usual!

Dancing tamuré!
It really seems like mr Lund really enjoyed the quiet and sweet life there as  in 1962 he was very happy to say "MAKE MINE TAHITIAN" (Tahiti records EL1012).

Tahiti hotel (where Eddie Lund been piano player in the 60's
This record is a pretty good exemple of the productions of Eddie Lund (and his tahitians) featuring many songs that soon became tahitian hits and that are still popular nowadays! Well, better than talk about it,  let's just have the man relate us the story behind the modernisation of tahitian folk music himself...

01 NA TE MOANA
02 UA AMA TE MORI
03 PITATE HERE HIA
04 TAKU MOE E
05 E PIKO
06 IA NEKE
07 HYPOCRITE D'AMOUR
08 OHITI E
09 MANEA
10 ORIORI CHA CHA CHA
11 KIRAHU E
12 MAURUURU A VAU

EDDIE LUND AND HIS TAHITIAN
...featuring...
LOMA . TEAITU & TURMA . CHARLEY ITCHNER
CELAPHINE . PAPEETE MIXED CHOIR
all songs by Eddie Lund



It's quite funny that nearly as same time as "make mine tahitian" was released another record named "to you, Tahiti" (A VOUS TAHITI, Philips 840.531)... A very different record by Madeleine Moua and the ballets Heiva, more related to tahitian folklore mixing "festival" style music and backing vocals telling us the story of Tahiti's creation by the Maui god. This LP also feature a version of the song "Manea" (that means "you're lovely").

    Another classic! Thanks so much for these great LPs, especially the one by Eddie. He is truly the king of Tahitian music.

    Thanks so much for sharing this great album & details about Eddie Lund. Mr. Lund doesn't seem to get as much acclaim as he deserves. It's great to see his music being kept alive like this!
