Scholars of music, culture and history in the Marianas Islands have paid little attention to contemporary Chamorro language music. In part, it has been dismissed on grounds of its 'inauthenticity'.

5. Conclusion This paper describes the system of vowel harmony in Chamorro,' the existence of which has received passing attention in previous studies, but which until now has not been examined carefully for its determining features. Chamorro shows two distinct types of what can generally be termed vowel harmony. The first of these involves fronting at
