Tahitian guitarist's Hawaiian music album song nominated for Grammy Award

Tahiti Presse is reporting that a song composed and performed by Tahitian Florent Atem is included in one of five albums nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album.

It turns out that this isn't Florent Atem's first time being nominated for a Grammy Award. The mainly self-taught musician is also the first Tahitian to be nominated for a Grammy in 2006. Florent has also released a solo album called Dreamtown in 2005, and has realeased 4 other albums with his sister, Carole Atem. The two regularly perform in Tahiti and have also performed in Hawaii alongside local Hawaiian musicians such as Henry Kapono and John Cruz.

  2. Wow awesome and interesting. I'm a young girl, highly fond of jewellery, I have been searching for some trendy and latest fashion around the internet to get popular in my social circle. For that I visited Tennis Bracelets and I got stunned watching their great collection of Bracelets. Girls get excited and socially famous.
