Polynesian Music and Sounds

Songs
The songs are often inspired by the melodies and movements of  nature. The sun, the moon, sea breezes, rain and the sound of water falls are combined in a rich aural blend that evokes an emotional response.

Instrumental
A collection of drummers playing in unison creates a unique and traditional Polynesian atmosphere.

Traditional Chants
A customary speech introduces the performer(s) to the audience, symbolising the challenge of one warrior (the performer) to another warrior (the audience).

Solo Dance
The very popular performance done by the girls, capturing the traditional spirit of the Polynesian region.

Traditional Instruments
Instruments include the ukulele, acoustic guitar, various types of authentic tokere drums (also known as a ove or kaara), bass drum and congo drums.

When all these instruments are combined it produces a rich sound much like a big band, typically producing an immediate and emotive response from the appreciative audience.
