	NEW HEBRIDES - LoveToKnow Article on NEW HEBRIDES
		The natives of the New Hebrides are Melanesians of mixed blood, and vary much in different islands.
		In character the New Hebrideans are ferocious and treacherous, though most of their unhospitality and savagery is to be traced to the misconduct and cruelty of traders and labor agents.
		Trade was mainly with New Caledonia, and France was thus indicated as the dominant power in the New Hebrides; even British planters pressed France to annex the islands in 1876, but in the following year some of the missionaries urged the same course on England.

		A collection of ritual music from the islands of Vanuatu recorded under the auspices of the New Hebrides Oral Tradition Project in the 1970s.
		In general, what a listener will notice is a proliferation of call-and-response singing in places, a proliferation of ridiculously huge slit drum work in places, and some more simplistic solo singing throughout, especially in the more relaxed hero tales.
		The album probably doesn't reach new ground musically, but it is definitely an interesting look into the culture of one of the most important junction points in the distribution of peoples over the South Pacific, with a number of mysteries involved in the qualities of the music itself.
