Product Description
The original Samoan sound is being brought back to life with Jerome Grey Trio’s first
album entitled, “Remember Samoa.” Written, composed and performed by renowned Samoan
artist, Jerome Grey and his sons, Tinifuloa and Taumata Grey.
Inspired by the innocence of Samoan music that enlivened Samoan natives before the arrival
of European instruments, the title, "Remember Samoa" was chosen to take audiences back to a time
when music and lyrics were simple and beautiful. Each track is comprised with the sounds
of the ukulele, guitar and sielo, otherwise known as upright bass, exuding a pure
and tropical sound that is Jerome Grey Trio.
Fa'anana Jerome and his two sons, Tinifuloa and Taumata, are dedicated to perpetuating
traditional and contemporary Samoan music. The Jerome Grey Trio aims to replicate the original
sound of traditional Samoan music, as it was first introduced to the Samoans, using the ukulele,
guitar and sielo, or stand-up bass. Their sound beckons listeners to return to a time when the
percussive rhythms of the fala and pate were pervasive in Samoan music.
