The songbook and CD together with a comprehensive historical study Auwas Polynesia (Our Polynesia) form a long overdue Trilogy to restore the voices of the Tahitian women of the Bounty and to honour their lives. The authors are humbled by the tremendous responsibility of presenting these works."--pianotraders.co.nz.
