What I'm hoping to do here is have people post the URLs for their favourite South Pacific videos-I've spent a lot of time watching You tube videos but hadn't seen much from the South Pacific until the other night when I hit the Motherlode. Well I suppose Mother lode is the wrong term-it's more like getting into a groove here are a few personal faves. Fijian village style- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oXOP1Ij6c8 Remember these guys? It's (one of) the airport bands Vanuatu Welcome! | 1 | |

Turn it up -this is a fabulous performance-who knew the Cooks were so much fun? | 2 | |
Some very traditional Fijian dancing from that stronghold of Fiji culture-beautiful Kadavu, then a video of a group from distant Rotuma-very old world Polynesian stylee. Hypnotic, mesmerising are the womens hand movements. | 3 | |

Probably the funniest Tongan video you'll ever see and very very typical of the country. The singer soldiers on-her voice never falters even as mayhem reigns (rains?) around her she is well and truly a Class Act Support Staff desperately try to rescue the situation it's painfully apparent they have no direction and little idea what to do. Look at the last frame-the singer finally lets her true feelings show. | 4 | |
WaluWalu---pretty funny video!! (But I guess Gene Kelly and his "Singing in the Rain" dance in that 1950's movie still would win out!) | 5 | |
