\u2018Basiwali\u2019 is a word from the Taiwanese indigenous tribe “Pangcah (Amis)” language – it means “heading eastward”. Basi- [verb] means \u2018moving towards\u2019. -wali [noun] means \u2018East\u2019 Their style can be categorized as Polynesian World Music.<\/p>\n

The two main musicians in the group are from two remote areas of the Polynesian landscape. Chalaw is from Taiwan’s Amis tribe. Kilema is from Madagascar’s Malkasi tribe. Taiwan and Madagascar are far, far away from each other, one is in Asia and the other in Africa.<\/p>\n

But their tribes are related – they\u2019re both Polynesian tribes, which is a subset of the Austronesian people which includes Aborigine and Maori people, and native Hawaiian people too.<\/p>\n

Basiwali make music inspired by the natural world. They have a clean acoustic classical guitar sound and vibrant drumming, and vocals that move audiences wherever they\u2019re from, with their Amis melodies and Latin rhymes. It\u2019s truly a unique vision, a fusion of cultures that are deeply related.<\/p>\n

It feels like being hugged by both ends of the Pacific – sometimes stormy, sometimes calm – but you\u2019re always in safe hands in the good ship Basiwali, and sailing on the wide, beautiful ocean.<\/p>\n
