CD Reviews

Totally Awesome!!!

"Ok, there are not many cd's out there that are really that great, but this one rocks! I lived in the South Pacific last year, I know this is authentic music, it's fantastic! This cd is excellent medicine for people who are stressed out. I would also recommend buying Te Vaka's other album, Ki Mua, and they're coming out with another one in 2002. By the way, I've seen them in concert and they are cool!!"
Best of its kind

"I'm always leery of groups that claim to blend traditional music and instruments with "contemporary" influences. You tend to end up with amateurishly bad compositions, or riffs on traditional folk tunes with drums and electric guitar added. But Te Vaka is the real thing. Ranging from heart-warming to exhilharating, with some irresistible drum work that virtually demands you get up and dance, all of Te Vaka's work reaches back to the roots of Polynesian music while combining it with modern sensibilities. I highly recommend all three of their CD's as well as their exciting and informative video (live performance recorded in Samoa). A fourth CD is now out.Maybe you can't afford a trip to the South Seas, but you can afford these CD's."
