Echoes of the Endless Blue
Saipan Tidecallers
Carolinian
About
Rhythmic call-and-response chants lead this communal Carolinian ceremony, driven by the deep resonance of slit drums (pate) and polyrhythmic layers from sticks and canoe percussion. Group vocals build in spiritual intensity, invoking ancestors and sea spirits amid acoustic ethnic sounds that echo open island gatherings. Natural acoustics emphasize unity and trance-like percussion grooves.
Lyrics
Ancestors rise From depths we call Spirits awaken Ancient and true Gather us close Forever renewed Ancient and true Gather us true Gather us close Forever renewed Echoes of old Sarely in this blue Leave a hit In the fires Glow United we stand Let the old winds blow Leave a height From the ocean's heart Lift us higher Never apart Fuel the pull The tide that binds There we go Where the shadows dance Strengthen our circle In sacred trance Rising stronger The pulse grows wild Echoes forever Undefined Fires of sea Oh, guardians near Bind our hands Chase away the fear In this circle Our voices entwine Eternal light Forever shine Uneternal light Forever shine Unity calls From the depths we rise Carolina In fire Lights the sky Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Lights the sky Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
