Customer Reviews

21st Century Tahiti!.
This was the first time that I^d heard Fenua, and now I just want to hear more. The mix of old and new shouldn^t work, but it does!. It^s excellent. If you^ve not heard Fenua before and love Tahiti then you^ve got to try it. But if you^re not that adventurous and want to stick with more traditional Tahitian Tamure dance music then the ultimate c.d. is Heiva I Tahiti: Festival of Life by David Fanshawe. A beautiful selection and great sound quality.

gorgeous Polynesian sounds...
Fenua performs traditional Tahitian somgs with a techno beat. The blend of traditional and modern works very well. The melodies are beautiful, the rhythms exotic. A terrific musical travelogue. Highly recommended! Fenua's music is becoming difficult to find. Don't be disappointed: order it now!

If you've been to Tahiti, you've heard their music and most likely love it. If not, it's the next best thing to going there...
The name of this group, Fenua, translates as "Island." They manage to mix techo with traditional for an awesome sound that seems to appeal to both old and young. In Tahiti, their CDs sell for roughly 36US$. The Amazon price for whatever is available is a bargain. Most of their work is not sold in the US. There isn't a single song on this CD that I opt to skip when I play it, and I never fail to feel better after listening to it.
