Abstract
This album is a collection of traditional songs from Sikaiana in the Solomon Islands collected between 1980-1983 by William Donner as part of ethnographic research. The album includes commentary from William Donner and then a variety of traditional songs. The commentary includes a time location for each of the songs. A wav file of the songs is attached as is a commentary.
I plan to post each separately in this series.
