	Polynesian Music
		Internationally, Polynesian music is mostly associated with twinkling guitars and grass skirts, Hawaiian hula and other tourist-friendly forms of music.
		This early music was very fundamental although some islands did use flutes and drums to accompany their singing.
		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'.
