“Pate Pate“ - Polynesian dance in Cairns, Australia

A Polynesian Style dance, performed by Manu Samoa, members of “Suluvale Samoa Culture and Performing Arts“ at the Sound Shell in Cairns. Definitely not a Samoan dance, they dance to the sounds of “Pate Pate“, (meaning “Log Drum“, sung in Tokelauan by Te Vaka, a group of musicians and dancers from various Polynesian islands, brought together by songwriter Opetaia Foa’i).
