	Tahiti Vacation Guide
		Tahiti, known as “The Gathering Place”, is the largest and most populated island, and is the starting point for all international travelers.
		Tahiti is a figure-eight shaped island with a larger part, known as Tahiti Nui (which means big) and a smaller part called Tahiti Iti (little).
		The mystique of a Tahiti vacation as a tropical island paradise began when the first European visitors returned to their countries with glowing reports of a gentle climate, friendly natives, abundant food and uninhibited love under the swaying palms.

	Top Literature - Music of Tahiti
		Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the music of Tahiti was dominated by festivals called heiva.
		They were replaced instead by genres of Christian music such as himene tarava.The word 'himene' is derived from the English word 'hymn' (Tahiti was first colonized by the English).
		One unique quality of Polynesian music (it has become almost a cliché) is the use of the sustained 6th chord in vocal music, though typically the 6th chord is not used in religious music

		Exit Tahiti are a fruity mix of inexperience, intoxication, and inhibitions.
		Blinded by optimism their music spans a diverse range of genre's from poppy/rocky tunes to rocky/poppy tunes, pushed to the extremes of their very definition.
		Gleefully agitated like a van load of badgers on a hot day, Exit Tahiti is a band that plays music through amplifiers and microphones and are quite possibly the best band to emerge from the industrial estates of Uxbridge.

	Polynesian dances & musics by The Tahiti Traveler
		Before 1985, when it became the Heiva I Tahiti, this famous cultural event was called Tiurai, which is a deformation of the English word "July".
		If they have a religious aspect when sang in protestant temples, the himene tarava and the himene ru'au take a secular form for the Heiva and help to perpetuate the ma'ohi legends from which the songs' subjects are issued.
		The himene ru'au is sang acapella (without music) on a slow tempo by a group composed by a mixed chorus and soloists sitting in semicircle, facing the chorus chief.

	Montreal Mirror : Music : Tahiti 80
		Tahiti 80 writes some of the catchiest songs ever.
		The plan for the last one was to get in the studio and record and write the songs at the same time, which was the opposite method we used on Wallpaper for the Soul.
		And we’ve always loved soul music, so there can be R&B songs, or even reggae, or other sort of music.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Fosbury, Tahiti 80, CD
		Tahiti 80 has always been better in theory than practice.
		Their ultra-slick approach, which uses elements of classic '60s pop, disco, '70s AM radio, and French pop and gives it a modern electronic sheen, has always sounded wonderful, but the songs weren't always there.
		The secret to Tahiti 80's success on Fosbury is the diversity of sounds and styles the band approximates and the dedication they give to making each song a memorable experience; the record sounds like nothing less than a greatest-hits album by the perfect mid-2000s pop band.

		Also important in Polynesian musical culture is dance, both to accompany "action songs" such as the hula and the 'aparima of Tahiti, or in the signature seated-dance styles such as Western Samoa's ma'ulu'ulu.
		It includes the myriad of tribal styles found in New Guinea, the Polynesian-influenced music of Fiji, and even the unique music of the Australian aborigines, who are culturally related to the Melanesian peoples.
		One of the main forms of musical expression is the stick dance, which varies across islands but generally tells the stories of the peoples: genealogies, histories and migrations.

	Dallas - Music - Tahiti
		When Tahiti actually raps on his debut EP, The Birth of Whack, he sounds like a seasoned old-school pro.
		Best are his rhymes on self-deprecating single "The Birth of Whack," such as "I'm whack like Dave from the second Real World/Whack like when Big Daddy Kane posed butt-naked in Playgirl." Too bad Tahiti raps for only four of the disc's 24 minutes.
		Despite the small taste he offers, Tahiti proves that he doesn't need the help.

		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.

		On this 14 track record, sung in French and English, gentle melodies are supported by omnipresent string arrangements, while the band's influences include both sixties orchestral pop and eighties new wave.
		But we're not living in the past, and so many periods of music history interest us that it would be very boring to list them all.
		A band like Tahiti 80 is very fortunate to have a big record label behind them, whereas Orwell is a real independant band.
