Solomon Island religious country music band launches album

Friday, December 7th, 2012

A band from the highlands region of Central Kwara’ae in Malaita Province, Solomon Islands, calling themselves the “Crystal River Band”, is launching its first ever DVD on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 December 2012 in Auki, Malaita Province, and on 15 December in Honiara.

Most of the songs featured on the DVD are original compositions in the Kwara’ae Language with English interpretations on screen.

Song writer and Singer Festus Fiu say the aim of the band is to spread the gospel to the country music loving people of the Kwara’ae region.

The Kwara‘ae are the largest cultural group in the Solomons and constitute one of ten linguistic/cultural groups on Malaita, the most populous island.
