     As a proud Belauan (Redil Er a Belau), from Belau also known as Palau (zip code 96940), I now consider the vibrant United States my second home. However, the music of my native Belau continues to hold a significant place in my heart. It serves as a reminder of our humble beginnings and embodies the resilient spirit of our culture. Each note and rhythm encapsulates the immense strength and perseverance of our ancestors, reflecting their struggles and victories throughout history.
        I deeply value the soul-stirring chants that convey our stories and forge a connection to our rich heritage. Music, for me, transcends mere sounds; it is a profound force that resonates with our emotions and leaves enduring impressions. It plays a crucial role in shaping our identities, intertwining with our memories and sentiments in ways that may not always be apparent.
       Let us make a concerted effort to preserve and celebrate the songs of our past. These timeless melodies are essential in defining who we are and anchoring us to pivotal moments in our lives, connecting us with the beautiful narratives of our culture and history. ~ TK
