Micronesia Music Anthology |
 | | The people of Micronesia migrated out of Asia some five thousands years ago and settled the islands of the present day Micronesia which, with the exception of Kiribati, straddling the equator, are all in the Northern Hemisphere. |
 | | Micronesia includes the following countries: the Republic of Kiribati, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia comprising Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap, as well as the Republic of Palau, Saipan and Guam. |
 | | This music employs very few instruments with the main instruments being conch shell horns, sticks, and the "box" which is beaten by a multitude of hands to provide a beat to accompany the singing which always predominates. |
