In Tahiti there's news of a new single for "Hina & Friends" band ?
Yes ! Hina is back at the working desk polishing up those songs
that did not make it onto the 30th Music Celebration CD.
These are not Tahitian songs but sheds light on Hina's other passion of modern music,
with an added twist of her new 'Island Style' sounds.
Hina is also happy to welcome back some old-musician-friends for this new release !

In Memory of "Faty" our friend ...
'Hina & Friends' band along with many musician friends are sad to announce that our dearest friend and big music fan 'Faty' from the store 'Poissonerie de Heiri' has departed through sickness.
His support to musicans was so great that he was also
one of the promoters of our latest album
"Hina, 30th Music Celebration in Tahiti".
As a last tribute to him and Mauruuru to his family, we would love to take the opportunity to share the song Hina wrote for him
called "Maa Tahiti Na Faty".
Aroha rahi no to tatou hoa o 'Faty'
Mauruuru Hina & Friends
Hina, the Dancer
Hina's dancing career, first started as a child.
Hopefully one day she might retrace her dance projects from the USA to Tahiti in a feature story . . .
According to her, "It all starting with playing the "toere" drums !". . .
From tiny dancer to dance instructor, from director of the 'Pupu Te Tiare' to the "Heiva I Tahiti”, you'll discover,
"Her joys and sorrows in Tahitian dancing".
Hina, La Danseuse
Hina a débuté dans le ‘show biz’ à un très jeune âge,
«. . . tout a commencé en jouant sur des tambours et des ‘Toere’. . . »
Peut-être un jour elle racontera l'histoire de ses débuts dans la danse retraçant son parcours et sa carrière de danseuse professionnel aux Etats-Unis, jusqu’à son premier " Heiva I Tahiti " en tant que directrice du ‘Pupu Te Tiare" et décrire à ce moment-là, ses joies et peines dans la danse tahitienne...
Pictured below, Hina far right, Director of the Pupu Te Tiare in 1985 & 1986,
assisted by Julien Mai far left both wearing the cheiftan hats.
Rewarded at the Heiva I Tahiti for Grand prize costumes 85, Best Original Costumes 1986 & and best dancers, Miss Mini Heiva 1985, best dancers Mini Heiva 86, and Tane Mini Heiva 86, overall 5th professional and with Julien Mai in 1987 overall 3rd professional with best dancer .
Dance & Music, a family Heritage
Maybe someday Hina will share her story regarding the rich cultural heritage she received from her parents with a full collection of photos (1938-1960's)
Danse & Musique un héritage familial
Peut-ëtre un jour Hina partagera l'histoire de son riche héritage culturel transmis par ses parents avec une collection de photos (1938-1960's).
