Customer Reviews

Tongan ethnocmusicolgy
"Malie 'Aupito" in Tongan means ultimate top rated entertainment and performance,music or dance.The variety of Tongan music represented in this CD is good and atleast they are in recorded form, better than nothing.There have been other groups and artists doing same or better quality work, but they have not been recorded.This CD collection belong in ethnomusicology. The strains and sounds are basically Tongan
originals, the words and literature relate aspects of Tongan life and feelings. Congratulations to the producers and artists.

Very Enjoyable, It made me feel like I was back in Tonga.
I miss the music of my wife's country. This CD made me feel as if I was there. My wife also enjoys this recording. So much so that she wore out the tape she made from the CD. We both wish there was more to hear.

An Outstanding Survey of Tongan Dance Music
Recorded at important Tongan celebrations and competitions in 1982, 1986, and 1990, Malie! is another valuable record of authentic Pacific sounds brought to us by Dutch ethnomusicologists Ad and Lucia Linkels.
