The lone recordings of teenage vocalist Anna Makirere from Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Sung in close harmony in Maori Kuki Airan, 'Tiare Avatea' pairs Makirere's casual yet masterful vocalizations with virtuoso accompanists. Somewhere between slack-key and flat-picked, the brilliant guitar work is seasoned tastefully with sunburned effects. With a title translating literally to 'Afternoon Flower', this radiant collection of originals and traditionals was issued regionally on cassette in 1981. It presents a unique look into the Cook Islands' musical sound and style.
