Favorite Artists
Bata Teinamati
Bata Teinamati has a rare, unique and haunting voice. His renditions of a wide range of traditional and contemporary music makes him, in my opinion, one of the most talented singers/musicians in Micronesia. He is from the Rupublic of Kiribati and draws his material from a wide spectrum of Kiribati music.
George Telek
Here is a musician who has extended the bounds of traditional Oceanic chants by utilising contemporary western instruments and facilities to enhance the traditional island music of his forefathers.
Te Vaka (Opetaia Foa'i)
Original contemporary Pacific music: Polynesian sounds with a modern groove: traditional Polynesian music composed by Opetaia Foa'i. Band members are Tuvaluan and Tokelauan. Check out their excellent and comprehensive Web site at: http://www.tevaka.com
Xavier X. Fethal
Xavier X. Fethal is an amazing and very talented artist whose music transcends all boundaries in his contemporary interpretations of the beautiful music of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia.
Pat Martinez
Harmonious, enthralling, enjoyable and lively are some of the words that come to mind to describe the music of Pat Martinez, a talented artist from Chuuk, Federated States of Micronesia.
