The stories behind the songs
The streaming platforms deliver the music. This is where we tell the stories behind it.
The first song stories are being written. Each song will have its own page with the story behind it, lyrics and background. Start with The Lagoon Keeps Count.

Island music heritage
A future home for traditional songs, community recordings, oral histories, instruments and local musicians from Solomon Islands — shared only with permission, and credited to the people and communities they belong to.
The releases above are original contemporary music. Traditional and documentary material will always be kept clearly separate.
