I'm outer island Chuukese, but when I was little, my uncle came from Saipan and he brought a Chamorro CD. Every day I went in his room and told him to play the CD on full blast. I never knew what language the songs were in until I grew older and learned they were Chamorro and the singer was Arnold Kaipat (I think he also sang Carolinian songs). My favorite one was "Ai Palao'an".
Fun and educational to see this video! I like how you clarified the historical context as part of the creative process of making, sharing, and enjoying music.
