Surrounded by virgin rainforest and idyllic lagoons, the Narasirato Pan Pipers live at the end of a mangrove forest in Oterama Village, at the remote southern end of Malaita Island, in the Solomon Islands. Their village is only accessible by canoe or overland by foot.

They are proud of their Are'are traditional music, together with their exciting contemporary music, featuring dance, traditional costumes, soaring vocals, wooden drums, conch shells and many unique bamboo instruments including pan pipes, thong-o-phones, mouthbow and stomping tubes.

....the Narasirato Pan Pipers leapt on to the stage and immediately created an irresistible polyrythmic pulse as they blew into, pounded on and danced around their amazing collection of bamboo instruments. ...they send a wave of energy through the auditorium, eliciting a spontaneous standing ovation from the thrilled crowd.

Magic energy! Narasirato filled the space with their uplifting sounds and unique performance which blew the whole audience off their seat for a massive standing and smiling ovation! Pure happiness!

They are looking forward to sharing their music with the rest of the world with an Australian and European tour during 2010.
