Klangkosmos NRW Charles Maimarosia (Salomonen)

In the organizer's words:

Pan flute, bamboo percussion, acoustic guitar and traditional songs from the Solomon Islands (South Seas), which are characterized by their simplicity and grace.

Charles Maimarosia writes songs in the old form of his A're A're language and has also built himself an A're A're instrument that has never been recorded before. Today he sings and plays pieces in the
more familiar musical forms such as lullabies (oriori), laments (tangi), incantations (karakia), love songs (waiata aroha), historical or genealogical recitations (patere), dance songs (haka) and thematizes current life.
current life. And Charles Maimarosia, as a person directly affected by the climate catastrophe, names a problem of the entire oceanic region:

"On the Solomon Island of Guadacanal, the corals have been pale for several years. There is no life left in them, the spawning grounds for the small fish have been destroyed. We also observe that the water is rising every year. It has flooded the grassland where our huts used to be. We have nowhere else to go. We can't get papers for other countries. At some point there will be overpopulation. We have to plan our future
plan our future with great care."
