Charlie Moonbeam Somehow energizing and calming, the pure and true musical expression of a special tropical place on planet Earth. Favorite track: E Avatea E.

Sam Baguley This is so great! Plus it was recorded before I was born in a culture I know nothing about.. that gives me a different idea of my place in the world. My country is self destructing rn and it feels good to escape.

muhonenm If there is any remedy to America in 2020, it's this music. I listen to this any time I need to hear a beautiful echo from someplace faraway (which is a lot these days). Thanks for the music Anna Makirere! Favorite track: Puara Marumaru.

about

The lone recordings of teenaged vocalist Anna Makirere of Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Sung in close harmony in Māori Kuki Airan, Tiare Avatea pairs Makirere’s casual yet masterful vocalizations with virtuoso accompanists. Somewhere between slack-key and flat-picked, the brilliant guitar work is seasoned tastefully with sunburned effects. Translating literally to “Afternoon Flower,” this radiant collection of originals and traditionals was issued regionally on cassette in 1981. It remains a unique look into Cook Islands sound and style.
