KTK61: MANUIA & MAEVA: OTUITUI TAHITI

Ladies & gentlemen, It seems like some of you hurt their back last week dancing with us on Tamouré. The survivors will have to meet our crew at the local airport as today we'll ear the sweet voices of  MANUIA & MAEVA: OTUITUI TAHITI (Reo Tahiti Records RT520 from the mid 60's).

The Lp we got today is "one of a kind" (well, I hope I'm wrong). Take 2 air hostesses from UTA, Tahitian ones off course and if possible sisters, get some keyboards, drums and guitars, mix all together and you'll get this refreshing record "OTUITUI TAHITI".

The tittle is the contraction of the name of 2 tahitian hit songs and that's all we'll get here, 12 songs composed by Yves Roche or Eddie Lund brilliantly turned into some 60's tahitian rock & roll with the sweet voices of the Maraeauia sisters that comes and go, together or on solos.

This record is for sure one of my favourite tahitian 60's lp  and I can remember the day I found it at a flea market, it came from an old man who was workingon a boat at this time and who was selling his memories for a few coins... Thanks to him!
