TRUE ROOTS MUSIC!4
I got this album from my dad and it is truly the roots for Samoans in the world today. I live in Salt Lake City, and it's a pretty churchy town as the world knows and with the translations from my dad and mother I've "Come closer to God" through most of the songs on this album. I know that the album is a bit scratchy and hard to understand, but that is probably the best part of the cd...AUTHENTICITY, and the chants and harmonies of the voices of SAMOA are still heard crystal clear to the open ear.

let the music speaks5
Being a full blooded Savaiian,this album surprises me.The ancient songs that are handed down from generations to generations is what this "project" is all about. If your a proud Hamo like me, this album should be included in your family music collection.Much faafetai to those who put it all together!

um...well...yeah, uh huh...okay...1
well...I tell you what, I know samoan music and during my "review"...the samples played were latin music. I don't remember the urge in breaking into a "Flamenco" when I hear my all time favorite "Manu O Le Vaveao"...
