Arguably, the most resilient
aspects of Polynesian culture are music and dance. Traditional
percussionists offer one of the purest expressions of Polynesian music and
are as much a part of the music scene today as are electric guitarists
(percussionist always accompany dance troupes). Tahitian music has evolved
into a fiery mix of Polynesian melody and rhythm and American pop,
Jamaican reggae, French chansons and even hymns borrowed from the
missionaries.
