Dan Bendrups

Recenzje

A remarkable story of how a decimated population of 110 people became a thriving community. Dan Bendrups brilliantly relays how the traditional music of this group combined with music from Catholic missionaries, from Chile, and from other Polynesians to form a unique tradition that helped them survive- and that now attracts thousands each year to their Tapati festival.
