Zusammenfassung:	This text investigates the role that music has played in the development of Easter Island (Rapa Nui) cultural heritage from the late 19th century to the early 21st century. Contrary to prevailing discourses of cultural loss and collapse, it argues that the continuity of Rapanui musical practices can be considered as evidence of cultural survival and continuity. The descriptions of music provided here extend beyond considerations of aesthetics, toward an appreciation of what it means for a once-endangered culture to survive, and to thrive, and the contribution that music can make to this process
