WELCOME TO RAROTONGA Salem XP 5008 33 ½ 12in L.P. This record is even more devoid of cover notes than the previous one, which is saying something. Since I am not familiar with Cook Island music I was better able to appreciate the frustrations of many listeners when they buy and listen to a Maori record without any information provided on the cover. The music on ‘Welcome to Rarotonga’ is very agreeable indeed but it would have been good to know just what it was about, what the occasion of singing was and a few details of the performers. Each of the twelve tracks except two is provided by a different group. These groups rejoice under such intriguing titles as ‘The Blue Boys’, ‘Harringtons Staff’, ‘Vakapora Boys’, ‘Avatiu Teenagers’ and others. Who and what are they, one wonders?
