French Polynesia is made up
of six groups of islands. There are around 130 islands in all. The island
groups are: Marquesas Islands; Society Islands; Tuamotu Archipelago; Gambier
Islands (often considered part of the Tuamotu Archipelago); Austral Islands;
& Bass Islands
(often considered part of the Austral
Islands). The largest
& most populated island is Tahiti in the Society
Islands. The highest point is Mount
Orohena on
Tahiti. Aside from Tahiti, probably the other
best known of the islands is Bora Bora (an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands).
This record comes from French Polynesia. The album information is in various
languages & yield no information about the group or the music that I can
understand. All I can say, is give it a listen.
As Trader Vic said, “The
warmth of the sun… The coolness of the Sea Breeze… The gentle rhythm of the
waves lapping at the shore… The tinkle of ice as it swirls in the exotic concoction
… It all takes us to long ago & far away Tahiti.”

Very cool. Any idea on a release year for this?
ReplyDeleteChristopher, I couldn't find the date anywhere. From the looks, I'd gues 60s, but with these small label releases you can never tell. Maybe someone out on the interweb will read this & let us know.
