EDDIE LUND AND HIS NATIVE TAHITIANS - TAHITI DANCES

Eddie Lund was the father of modern Tahitian folk music. He was born October 12, 1909 and grew up in Vancouver, Washington State, USA.... In 1936 he made his first visit to the islands of French Tahiti. He spent a month there and immediately fell in love with the place, the people and their music. He returned to his job as a pianist in Portland, Oregon, saved his money and in 1938, moved permanently to Tahiti. He learned to speak French and Tahitian. He began composing songs in Tahitian, incorporating native melodies and drumbeats with his own creative thoughts. He organized a band of Tahitian musicians and starting in the business of making records on the Tahiti Records label, based in Papeete. In the 1950's these records were distributed on a worldwide basis by Criterion Records of Hollywood, California. Eddie Lund passed away in 1973. GET IT HERE enjoy!
