-Roots World

Small Island Big Song celebrates 5,000 years of Pacific Islander culture. 

From Taiwan to Aotearoa/New Zealand – Madagascar to Rapa Nui/Easter Island.

Islanders who share an ancient seafaring ancestry and language.

Over three years, Small Island Big Song evolved from visits to 16 Island Nations, and work with over 100 artists, solo artists, elders, community groups, and grassroots musicians, all recorded in their homelands in nature using traditional instruments and languages, with each contributing to each other’s songs. The result is a surprising and stunning musical collaboration reuniting the distant yet interconnected musical traditions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
