When I was looking for information on the Tahitian ukulele and about the Tahitian language there was not a whole lot of info.
Anyway, I put a Word document together to capture the information I have gathered. Thought it might be helpful to others wanting to find similar information. Please let me know any comments you may have and ways to make it better. Still a work in progress. Need more info on Tahitian uke playing techniques, strumming, etc.
You should be able to download the document at the address below:

That is very interesting. I'm currently trying to learn some Tahitian strums.

Gerald 0 WOW! What a lot of work and a lot of love you have put into this endeavor. And how generous of you to share the wealth of information with us.
Dennis Pavao played the Tahitian `ukulele and one of his CDs even has a picture on the cover of him holding a Tahitian `ukulele."The Golden Voice of Hawai`i" http://www.mele.com/music/artist/dennis+pavao/the+golden+voice+of+hawai%60i/
On this CD, Dennis does a technology-assisted post-mortem duet with Raiatea of a mele they call Bora Bora Nui. I notice in Gerald's treatise that it is called Bora Bora E. I find it also very interesting that the language (not the French stuff) is so very similar to Hawaiian that there are words even I was able to understand.
I like the sound of the Tahitian `ukulele. It is a very definitely "plunky" sound without any resonance or bottom, but it evokes a wonderful feeling.
Gerald, once again, thanks so much for sharing the wealth of information. |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,
