We’ll be posting some unreleased tracks on our @soundcloud page, and today’s is a song from Verahoai Church, Tanagai Parish, Guadalcanal. Sung by the children’s’ choir in celebration of their patron Saint, St. Theresa Little Flower on her Feast day. Pictured with the community in the second photo is the Archbishop of Honiara Christopher Cardone, who kindly allowed us to record several religious ceremonies in the Solomon Islands in our effort to capture and preserve this beautiful sound that the island is known for.

We visited with the cuatro maestro, Robert Munro, at his home in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. He passed away in the spring of 2019.
He did an interview and played a number of songs for us, including two different versions of the Venezuelan joropo, “El Gavilan.” To learn more and to hear his music, tap the link in our bio.
