Collected by Jim Geselbracht. Latest Update: 8/24/2022
These recordings are the source material for the book "Adidil er a Klechibelau: Songs of Palau 1915 - 1970" by Jim Geselbracht, © 2022.
In about 1915, the people of the island nation of Palau in the Western Pacific Ocean began to create a body of songs set to melodies that they heard from their non-Palauan co-workers and neighbors and the popular music of their Japanese and American occupiers/colonists. These songs express in the Palauan language the heartbreak of past love affairs, praise and thanks to neighboring villages and the beauty of the singer’s home village. These are Palauan poetry. Adidil er a Klechibelau is a collection of the lyrics and music for 151 songs composed from 1915 to 1970 in the Palauan language, a history of that musical development, and an analysis of the themes and musical structures of those songs.
The 422-page book is available for purchase at the Belau National Museum (while they last). A PDF of the book is available for download here.
