What will strike the lis\u00adtener is how much it resem\u00adbles the poly\u00adne\u00adsian music you hear in old movies from the 1940s and 1950s. The occa\u00adsional more recent influ\u00adence pops up, but it appears that the genre is more or less fixed. Not real\u00adly my taste, but I can see it would work for me if I had a few mai-tais, and a few hula dancers to look at. The songs are sung in the var\u00adi\u00adous lan\u00adguages of French Poly\u00adne\u00adsia, but there\u2019s is a song in Eng\u00adlish (\u201cBora-Bora, I Love You\u201d), and one Hawa\u00adian band is represented.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This cross-sec\u00ad\u00adtion of pop\u00adu\u00adlar music in Poly\u00adne\u00adsia includes songs by Charley Mauu, Loma, Poline, Groupe Mae\u00adva, Coco\u2019s Tamae\u00adva, Eddie Lund, Marie Marit\u00ader\u00adagi and oth\u00aders.
