Sunidu Pasifika was led by Delores Taitano Quinata, who was the last apprentice of Master of CHamoru Culture for the belembaotuyan, Jesus Crisostomo. She was assisted by musicians Ruby Santos and Jesse Bais, as well as her husband Joe Quinata from the Guam Preservation Trust.
Many of the members of Sunidu Pasifika were CHamoru language and culture teachers in Guam’s public schools, who learned how to make and play the belembaotuyan with the hopes of bringing this knowledge into their classrooms.
