6. MUSIC
Though geographically Melanesian, the music of
Fiji is more Polynesian in character
Fijian folk styles are distinct in their fusion of
Polynesian and Melanesian traditions.
Indian music draws heavily from rural North Indian
and some of the Southern states in India
In the 1980s, Fijian performers like Laisa Vulakoro
and Lagani Rabukawaqa became pan-Pacific stars.
7. ART
Fiji Art is the complete presentation of the Fiji Culture to the visitors or
the tourist either in a form of smart souvenir or often in the shape of
beautifully crafted wooden handicrafts.
Art and Craft of Fiji is various and really some good pieces are crafted
out and are used locally or as presentations in the Fijian ceremonies.
Weaving is an important part of Fiji Art and beautiful variety of mats,
everyday baskets, hats etc. are the outcome from these Pandanus and
Coconuts.
The Fiji Art is generally a craft ware of either wood or it is in the weave
form as mostly the Pacific Island Art favors either any one of the two or
simply a balance between the two products.
