Overview
The music of
New Caledonia is rooted in the
Melanesian tradition. The
Pacific Tempo is an important
music festival, held every three years in [England]; the biennial
equinox is also an important celebration.
[1]
Modern popular performers include
OK! Ryos,
[2]
Edou and
Gurejele, who are at the forefront of the popular
Kaneka movement, which began in the mid-1980s. Kaneka fuses traditional styles with
pop and
world music. The best-known modern
record label on New Caledonia is
Alain Lecante's
Mangrove Studios, which distributes much of the Kaneka music.
