Friday Music

The "Illitona Panpipe Group" refers to a traditional music ensemble hailing from the Solomon Islands.  Specifically the Illitona Bamboo Band from Santa Isabel.

Known for their captivating, toe-tapping, get-up-and-dance panpipe (bamboo pipe) music which is a key part of the local culture performed on the islands like Kolombangara.

They play indigenous, rhythmic music using traditional instruments fashioned from bamboo pipes and showcasing a unique island sound.

If you ask me I don't see bamboo - I see drain pipe, PVC to be sure.  I figure this western cultural addition may lend a uniformity in production value with the durability of polyvinyl chloride.  It is the world's third-most produced plastic after all.

Enjoy this really fun music and try really hard not to get sucked into more of it.

Turn-up the volume nice and loud for Illitona Panpipe Group: Morning Star.....
