Description:
Telek is a band, a man and, in some parts of the world, a legend.

Telek the man has been at the forefront of the Pacific music scene for the last 20 years. The new album 'Amette' is Telek's third album and marks eleven years of international recording and touring from this artist. The list of international accomplishments is indeed impressive.

George Telek is a grassroots man. He comes from the village of Raluana, near the volcano-ravaged town of Rabaul in the Papua New Guinean island province of East New Britain. His songs and his hauntingly beautiful yet sometimes menacing voice, traverse many musical styles. Equally comfortable with the unique country/folk that is the PNG string band style, traditional Tolais "Midel" (magic charm) and "Malira" (love magic) songs, Beatle-esque pop/rock or atmospheric Massive Attack style grooves and textures. Few musicians inside or outside PNG straddle the range of styles that Telek both adopts and combines, whilst capturing the spirit of the proud cultural heritage of the Tolai people of Papua New Guinea.
