  1. Music of Easter Island

    Refimprove date May 2007 Image Rapanookee vona.jpg thumb Traditional musical dance of Rapa Nui Easter Island . Easter Island is located in the Pacific Ocean . Though its earliest inhabitants are ethnically Polynesia n, the island is part of the South American state of Chile . History Traditional music from the island consists of choral singing and chanting, similar to music of Tahiti Tahitian music . Families often performed as choirs, competing in a hotly disputed annual concert. They were accompanied by a trumpet made from a conch shell and a percussive dance r jumping onto a stone which is set over a calabash resonator . Other instruments include the kauaha , the jaw bone of a horse, upaupa , an accordion , and stones, which are clapped together for percussive effect. Due to ongoing contacts with Chile and elsewhere in South America, Latin American music has had influences on the music of Easter Island. Tango music Tango , for example, has spawned an Easter Island style called tango Rapanui , characterized by a simple guitar accompaniment instead of the frenetic bandoneon .

  1. The Lost Gods of Easter Island

    italictitle The Lost Gods of Easter Island is a BBC documentary written and presented by David Attenborough . It explores the history of the civilization of remote Easter Island. It was first transmitted in 2000 and is part of the Attenborough in Paradise and Other Personal Voyages collection of seven documentaries. Attenborough embarks on a personal quest to uncover the history of a strange wooden figurine carving which turned up in an auction room in New York during the 1980s. The auction catalogue indicated that the carving was from Easter Island and the auctioneers told him that the sculpture had come from a junk shop dealer in Pennsylvania. He knew that the, grotesque head, attached to a body grossly elongated and as thin as a stick, was more important than the auctioneers believed it to be and had such presence and power that he bought it. He began an investigation to trace the origins of the artifact an investigation that spans the globe and leads him on voyages to Russia, Australia, England, the Pacific, a Tahiti beach and finally to one of the most remote places on earth and 15 years later, in a personal detective story that combines art, anthropology, and history traces the origin of the carving and in doing so tells the story of a forgotten civilization and of a people who inhabited one of the most remote places on Earth.
