Welcome everybody to
our Pacific Islands Radio Stations for your free listening to our
beautiful Pacific Island music, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Wherever you may be, please make
yourself feel at home, sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to the
soothing, melodious, enchanting and exciting sounds of Pacific Island
music. Music fulfills a need to communicate. It gives expression to
thoughts, ideas, beliefs and moods. It connects us with our past and in
doing so it arouses feelings of joy, sorrow, excitement and serenity.
Music is a language that reminds us of memorable moments in our lives.
Let us hope that we experience all these wonderful things and much more
in our Pacific Island music.
Pacific Islands Radio
has been introduced in order to facilitate the promotion of island music
to a worldwide audience. This was undertaken as a consequence of a
foreseen need to allow the musical component of island heritage to be
made available to a wider audience.
The early music of
Oceania (Melanesia,
Micronesia and
Polynesia) was composed of rhythm
instruments and vocals; they comprise mainly chants without any harmonic
structure and without any oriental or occidental influence. This early
music was very fundamental although some islands did use flutes and
drums to accompany their singing.
As there was no written language to record the history of the
Pacific Islands, it was our beautiful island music that provided one
essential record of our heritage and this was passed from generation to
generation. Besides the tales of migration and wars, the daily life of
our people was chronicled in our music.
The music comprises traditional chants of our gods, ancestors and
mythology, Gospel Music, the day-to-day music
including songs about the beauty of the sunrise, the sunset, the islands
and the people, not to mention the uniquely beautiful love songs with
their haunting lyrics and melodies.
Pacific Islands Radio is dedicated to promoting our beautiful
island music and our talented artists to the world 24 hours a day, 7
days a week. I should perhaps mention that we have at present four
Radio Stations, the first being Pacific Islands Radio FM mp3PRO Stereo
(FM 32 kbps) as well as Pacific Islands Radio 33K (24 kbps) and
Pacific Islands Radio 28K (16 kbps )in order to allow our listeners the option of
selecting the station of their own choice. The fourth Radio Station is
Micronesia Music Radio 33K (24 kbps) which features original, rare, traditional
and contemporary music from Micronesia. Further specialized Pacific
Islands Radio Stations featuring exclusively Polynesian and also
Melanesian music will be going online shortly.
Pacific Islands Radio is very pleased to be able to share that a
collection of some of the most exciting and absorbing gospel music
from the Pacific Islands is now being featured on Pacific Music
Radio (FM mp3PRO Stereo), Pacific Islands Radio 33K (24 kbps) as
well as Pacific Islands Radio 28K (16 kbps).
With an extended running time of three hours, the gospel collection
has proved to be extremely popular and features music of a number of
very talented artists such as Bata Teinamati, Betania Gospel Singers
and Emmaus Family Singers (Republic of Kiribati), Lia Osborne
(Fiji), Vanessa Quai (Vanuatu), Aoloau Youth Choir (Samoa) and The Auckland Pacific Gospel
Choir.
Please monitor the Broadcast Schedule of the above three Pacific
Islands Radio stations for the availability and time of the Gospel
Music collection. At present, this exciting collection is available
every Sunday from 12 midday - 3pm Australian eastern standard time.
Thank you and Best
Wishes
My Wish
by Jane Resture
The frigate bird
The flying fish
It is time for us
To make a wish
And I wish for the sunrise
To be beautiful each time
With days that are perfect
And nights so sublime
And I wish for the sunset
To be like a long red sail
Each and every day
And you and I will always stay
Whatever we wish
Will surely come true
And I wish for happiness
For me and you
And I wish for the world
To live in peace
To live and love as one
To a simple beat
And I wish for us all
To have our lives full of love
Full of joy and happiness
And eternal love
