The Peleliu Club of Guam kicked off its showing of New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music with a rousing program, "Palauan Music: A Life of Song and Dance." Palau is a Micronesian nation in an island chain southwest of Guam. Thousands of people of Palauan heritage make their homes on Guam. New Harmonies provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the richness of the music and dance Palauans brought with them to Guam. The exhibition, sponsored by the Guam Humanities Council, and related programs remain on display through September 16 at the Royal Orchid Hotel in Tumon.
