I went for a long scenic drive up the Gallatin River canyon today, and listened to one of my favorite Hawaiian recordings... Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, 'Facing Future'. I thought of this thread discussion. Anyone know the history of Polynesian music? Back in the 70's I learned a Maori war chant dance, some Tahitian, and both ancient and modern Hula. I have a video that is a documentary of the Merry Monarch Festival. The dance and music is incredible.
