Samoa Music
poster yourself
The music of Samoa is very integral to life in the country.The important thing has always been the voice,singers,rejoice and reflect every emotion.The past,present and sometimes the near future are put to song.In music everyone sings despite the cause,despite the situation and most often despite one'a ability to do so.Before the arrival to the island of Samoa,musical instruments in use included a hollowed-out log and a fala ,a rolled-up mat,beaten with sticks.Both of the instruments were percussion instruments,which often accompanied singing.The Samoas are a Polynesian island chain,currently divided between in independent state of Samoa and an American territory called America Samoa.Much of Samoan history and culture were through sond and dance,both of which were integral parts of Samoan life.Traditionally,the fiafia was a musical threatrical presentation celebrating a special event in which performance groups alternated in an attempt to outdo each others efforts in morden times,it is often a hotel performance in which dances like the siva samoa and sasa are performed.
