Tracks include traditional signal music played on the conch shell; devotional choir music (Christianity, first brought by missionaries, has a strong presence on the island); and Western-influenced popular music, all of which show the successful blending of traditional and contemporary styles. Liner notes include track notes and discussion of Western Samoan culture, especially music and dance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 P? \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lali \u003cbr\u003e1.3 P?T? \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Logo 'Palagi \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Laulau Siva \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Vi'i O Solosolo \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Pese Feiloaiga \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Pese O Le Fa'aulufalega \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Pese Lotu \u003cbr\u003e1.10 O Le Vi'iga I Le Atua I Mea Aupitoaluga \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Ave Lou Ola Ia Aoga \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Agaga Paia \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Ia Lavalava \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Lau Lupe \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Sasa \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Solo \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Ua Lata Mai Le Aso Fa'amasino \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Velo Mai Lau Disco\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32432388112455,"sku":"16940642","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1506171.jpg?v=1747362174","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-western-samoa-conch-various","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
