Review:
This recording was absolutely the most exciting moment at the South Pacific World Music Festival in Savusavu, Fiji. The Somai Serenaders were not an official part of the program -- they are just part of the prolific local Fijian music scene. Every village has a string band and this group has earned the reputation of being one of the very best. Their music is played on the floor around a kava bowl -- and between songs, a coconut shell full of kava is drained by each player. They call this playing style 'sigi drigi' for singing and drinking. Note the fantasticly effortless guitar improvisations by lead guitarist Apenisa Waqa. Particularly savory is his playing on 'Mereula'. As we sat listening and drinking in the intoxicating atmosphere that is Fiji, it became clear that it does not get any better than this...
