interesting, the harmonies and melodies all throughout polynesia are intertwined, like the strong use of the 6th harmony in the melodies, ive always wondered if these developed independantly because of the same roots, or because of the similar influences from outside. i tend to think its a bit of both.

Hey, nice clip! Keep up the music! I love it! I just hope that someday more poly's will get into it. And maybe we can get island music on the map and show itself to the rest of the world. One love bro!
