| Publisher Description: The first book in over twenty years on the music of a West Polynesian culture, Tongan Music records a dynamic, creative tradition that blends the carefully preserved songs and dances witnessed by Captain Cook with recent compositions. The volume reflects Tongan thinking in both structure and content, allowing the Tongan voice to speak for itself. |
