ABOUT THE MUSIC

        The Lamo Serai Boyz have recorded a truly amazing collection of wonderful electronic melodies based on traditional and popular Micronesian songs from their home island, Lamotrek, and other islands in the Caroline archipelago.  Their music  is available through Triton Films as a "promotional" CD-R which is playable on  99%  of CD players and computers on the market today.  Through contributions to the Urupiy Voyager Project it is hoped that enough money will be raised to finalize production of the "release" CD for world-wide distribution in order to establish a revolving fund for supporting traditional long-distance voyaging expeditions and education in the Outer Islands of Yap, Micronesia.

        All the musical recordings were created  with state of the art Yamaha DSR 1000 keyboards and professionaly mixed with vocals in the Lamotrekese language at C-Star Studio in Yap,  with post-production  at Triton Films.   No accoustic guitars were used.   Such artistry and talent from a group of island boys growing up in a small community numbering no more than 300 persons and more than 600 miles from the nearest 120 volt outlet in Yap must be heard to be believed.   They are really THAT good.

        Anyone who has visited the restaurants and party "hot spots" of Micronesia will  be instantly transported back to the islands when they hear this music.   For myself , I am captivated by memories of  balmy nights and spectral lights floating on a tropical pulse of swaying bodies and lively conversation ... all enveloped by wonderful melodies both lyrical and energetic.  Please order one or more copies today!
