Traditional Samoan Music
Book hardcover
About
A companion volume to the same author's highly successful Tongan Music, this is by far the most comprehensive published account of the music of western Polynesia's largest island group. Includes thorough examination of songs of different kinds, and song texts are given in both Samoan and English. Written to appeal to the general reader, Traditional Samoan Music provides both a Samoan perspective and a researcher's analysis of this most important element in Samoan life.
