Te Vaka, also known as Original Contemporary Pacific Music, is the 1996 self-titled debut album, by the Oceanic group, Te Vaka. Their music is often described as "South Pacific Fusion", making use of contemporary musical styles while mixing in traditional instruments and themes from the South Pacific. This album has seen multiple releases with some variation to the cover art and track listing due to changes in domestic and international distribution rights since its initial independent release in 1996.[2] [3][4] In October 2008 the album was made available as a digital download from Amazon.com [5]
