Shortly after 1800 the huge speaker started to spit out techno. Maybe Polynesian techno but I’m not an expert on techno, thus I could not identify the music clearly.<\/p>\n
At 1830 a band 6 musicians with ukele , guitar and percussions started playing Polynesian music. What a great sound. Unplugged.<\/p>\n
For me a surprising large number of Polynesian teenager showed up. Is there real interest in such a cultural based concert or was there nothing better to do?<\/p>\n
It was nice sitting on the Center stand watching the people and listening to the music. The heat of the day is gone and the music relaxes with it’s smooth sound in the cooler air.<\/p>\n
Another group were 3 man, guitar ukele, and percussions sang in several voices. The rythm was pretty fast, not the typical Polynesian singing. Suddenly the music reminded me to folksongs and I got the feeling I would like to play with them. But my guitar is orphaned since 30 years and my fingers are too stiff…<\/p>\n
The program continued with various groups, some I liked more, some less.<\/p>\n
Towards the end, a typical band with electric guitars but one plugged in acoustic guitar and drums played what I would describe as Polynesian pop music. I use this term because I saw people singing along.<\/p>\n
In total, the concert presented many great musicians, some with outstanding voices. It was worth sailing 17 h to Taiohae to just hear this concert.<\/p>\n
Tired, but happy I returned to MaRe. It was not that easy to find her among the very many boats in the bay in the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
