World Music: Matato'A, "Tama'I"
(Rapa Nui) Matato'A means "The watchful eye of the warrior" and is both a band and a dance company. They are dedicated to preserving the older music and dance traditions of the island, though not averse to blending them with more modern sounds. The song is a condemnation of the violent, internecine fighting of bygone days.
