cd cover Betel Nuts Brothers & Koma Koma
Betel Nuts (Trees Music and Art, Taiwan)
$16.99

Listen to "Kwetalabogi" (Real Audio)

Two musical groups originated from Austronesian cultures—The Koma Koma String Band from Papau New Guinea and the Betel Nuts Brothers from Taiwan, sharing the betel nut culture and Austronesian roots. This is beautifully simple music for stringed intruments, percussion, whistles and such, in the scratch band /string band tradition familiar to people around the world from the Americas to southeast Asia. Aficiandos of any Pacific island folk music will find this one irresistible.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
