Pacific Arts Festival, Part IV

We were excited for another evening of dancing, this time at the Stadium. There were 14 different nations scheduled to perform this evening, but after 2 1/2 hours we only saw two of the groups. The first was New Caledonia: The next group to perform was from Samoa (aka Western Samoa or Independent Samoa):Considering that we see Samoan dancing often, we were anxious to get onto the other performers. Unfortunately, the third group, New Zealand, turned out not to be their native Maori dancers, but some really obnoxious rappers! We tried to wait it out, but after a few songs headed home. Although a little disappointed, a few days of the festival remain.
