For generations, our traditional leaders and families from Pikajelā village in Ailinglaplap Atoll have composed songs and choreographed dances that have enlivened local gatherings in the Marshall Islands. They have become a family legacy that celebrates and promotes Marshallese traditions and culture. Bukon Labod boys who represent the younger generation, carrying on the talent and legacy of their grandfathers, and all those who came before. They are brothers, cousins, and friends, who share the same love and passion for music and dance.
　
These performances depict life in the islands, our legends, and the environment that surrounds us. They tell stories of how we live and take care of one another; of how we fish and grow crops to sustain our families; of how we teach navigation to sail our waters, and how we build huts to shelter, etc. We come from the Rālik chain of islands in the Marshall Islands. Rālik means sunset because our islands are to the west. And we understand that Pasiwali is a word from one of the aboriginal tribes in Taiwan which means to go east. How fitting is that? 🙂 This will mark our first visit to this beautiful country and we are eager and excited to meet you.
