Racines et traditions
Fijian Folk music
Like their Polynesian neighbours, modern Fijians play guitar, ukulele and mandolin along with a variety of indigenous instruments, most commonly lali drums, which are now used to call the people of an area together. Lali drums were an important part of traditional Fijian culture, used as a form of communication to announce births, deaths and wars. A smaller form of the lali drum (lali ni meke) is used as a form in instrumentation. Meke is a kind of spiritual folk dance, in which dancers bodies are said to be possessed by spirits. Other percussion instruments include the derua, which are tubes made of bamboo which are stamped on mats or on the ground. Other dances included the women's dele or wate, which humiliated enemy prisoners sex, and the men's cibi, which uses spears and clubs [1].
Musique populaire
Popular music
In the 1980s, Fijian performers like Laisa Vulakoro and Lagani Rabukawaqa became pan-Pacific stars. Vulakoro is especially well known for her part in creating "vude", a popular style that combines disco, country and island music (especially the meke rhythm), rock and roll and jazz (for which the islands are rightly famous). Other modern performers include the bands Nuku Katudrau, Karuna Gopalan, Rosiloa (formerly known as Black Rose), George "Fiji" Veikoso, Danny Costello, Michelle Rounds, Seru Serevi and The Freelancers. Reggae is also a popular music genre in Fiji, as is jazz.
