Various Artists - Na Ainamae ma Totoraha (2026) [Hi-Res]

BAND/ARTIST: Various Artists

Produced by David Bridie in collaboration with Wantok Musik and led by cultural elders and artists Charles Maimarosia and Natty D, Na Ainamae ma Totoraha showcases the finest traditional and contemporary music from the Solomon Islands, focusing primarily on the Malaita and Rennell and Bellona provinces. The project brings together old and new songs performed by respected elders such as Oku Lui and Lena Simarore alongside established and emerging artists including Vicky Houopa, Maeka’aniani Cultural Group, Hillary Lui, and Kau’amakonga.

The release stands in deliberate contrast to the legacy of Deep Forest's hit "Sweet Lullaby," which sampled a recording of a woman from North Malaita who went uncredited and unpaid. Instead, Na Ainamae ma Totoraha champions a model of lasting, respectful cultural engagement in which every artist is properly credited, compensated, and retains ownership of their songs.
