about

These five Bĩmene Taravã / Himene Tarava (Chorus) are sourced from Custom Blue Amberol recordings, possibly from a larger set of brown wax field recordings that were recorded in Faaone Tahiti, and possibly privately pressed as Blue Amberol cylinders by Edison in New Jersey.

Recordings were possibly made by anthropologists Frank Stimson or Edward S. C. Handy in 1923. Four of the five cylinders are stamped "Tahiti-#" on the rim and handwritten notes on the boxes say "Himene Chorus, Faaone, Tahiti, 1923 (Handy)."

The 5 Tahitian field recordings were named as "Himene Chorus" and are licensed under the Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 International License (CC BY-NC). Released through FreeMusicArchive & UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive, 2011.

Minimal sonic restoration & normalization.

Himene tarava (Tahitian: bĩmene taravã) is a style of traditional Tahitian music. The style is started by one person singing a stanza. Other singers gradually join in and rhyme with the person. The men sing in a deep voice for punctuation, while the women sing in a light voice.
