Tahiti… Close your eyes and hear the ‘ukulele, the singing, the percussion? That’s the real magic of our islands. And to fully immerse you, I’ve got a few playlists for you…

Music is the soul of Tahiti! It’s everywhere, accompanying us through every moment of our lives.

• A precious heritage: Our traditional songs and instruments, like the ukulele, pahu and to’ere, tell the story of our ancestors, their legends, their beliefs… It’s a powerful link with our past.

• A hymn to joie de vivre: listen to our songs, they’re often lively and festive! That’s because we love celebrating life, love and nature, and sharing good times together.

• Music and dance, inseparable: It’s impossible to talk about Tahitian music without mentioning dance! The hura, our traditional dance, is sublimated by rhythms and songs.

• A thriving music scene: our artists are creative and talented! They mix styles and explore new horizons… From reggae to pop to jazz, there’s something for everyone!

• A bond that unites us: Music is what brings us together, what creates a bond between us. At village fairs and festivals, we sing, dance and celebrate life together.

So let yourself be carried away by the magic of Tahitian music! Manava e maeva ! (Bon voyage and welcome!)
