I don't see them mentioned much on TC, but if you like them or don't know them and you're in the area, it's free, so what the heck (and I can't remember them coming through Chicago before, either). Here's a link to the event, which will be at the Old Town School of Folk Music. http://www.oldtownschool.org/concerts/2011/9/21_tevaka.php If anybody wants me to throw a little playlist up someplace, PM me. Or you can just go to their website and listen to track snippets (or Amazon, I'm sure). http://www.tevaka.com/music.html They do a lot of percussive / luau type stuff, but they also do their "contemporary Pacific" music, and that's mostly what I like of theirs. I have no affiliation with them or OTSFM, I just dig the band :) Luki

They look like they'd be amazing, with all that dancing and energy. They've been favorites of mine for years now, and a great contemporary Pacific band. They always get played at my tiki (and beyond) parties. Classic Te Vaka - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Nbxryb5YHc
