section of a tree trunk, is used in the Tokelau Islands. Most modern gongs were imported from Samoa, where the puapua trees from which the gongs are made grow in size. The gong is approximately 4.5 feet long, 1.5 feet wide, and 2 feet deep.\u00a0<\/p><p>The top surface is split lengthwise into the ends of the log and the interior is hollowed out, following the curvature of the circumference of the log. At the ends, the upper surface is hollowed out 3 or 4 inches deep, leaving a lip between this hollow and the interior opening.<\/p><p>The gongs were struck with two or three sticks held by two beaters which beat at different rhythms. Small wooden gongs were played with a fast rhythm to keep time in ancient dances. The ancient name for the wooden gong was kaulalo, but today it is referred to by the Tongan and Samoan term, lalo.<\/p><p>The Tokelau drum (pasu) was made from a section of a kanava tree trunk, one end of which was burned and cut to a depth measured from the fingertips to the elbow. Above the open end, a sharkskin was stretched and tied under the rim. The Wilkes group found one on the malae.\u00a0<\/p><p>The presence of the drum in Tokelau is unusual as it is an Eastern Polynesian instrument, remarkably absent from Western Polynesia. The name Tokelau pasu, pahu, is also found at <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/hawaiian-mythology\/\">Hawaii<\/a> and in other islands of eastern Polynesia.<\/p><p>Long, thin planks (papa), used to stretch and scrape the bark to be transformed into fibre, were also employed as sound boxes struck with two sticks to tap the rhythm of dances. Mat-covered boxes or kerosene canisters supplanted planks due to their more resonant tones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-26e0d6a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"26e0d6a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c585608\" data-id=\"c585608\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9424d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d9424d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Musique-Tokelau-les-instruments-a-vent\"><\/span>Music Tokelau: wind instruments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-09dcd65 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"09dcd65\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a0a8aca\" data-id=\"a0a8aca\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c34aead elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c34aead\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Flageolets (fangufangu) were once made from the fluffy stems of young kanava plants, but are now made from the recently introduced papaya tree, whose young branches are hollow and easy to cut.

Songs of adoration or propitiation were sung before any great undertaking and in connection with festivals, funerals and other rites. Hale says the Atafu natives sang constantly to their white visitors, probably to appease them.\u00a0<\/p><p>The numerous references in the literature and the <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/\">legend<\/a> to songs indicate that there was once great variety in singing. We remember some old songs to <a href=\"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/en\/tokelau-mythology\/\">Atafu<\/a>, but most of them were forgotten when the dance was banned by the missionaries.<\/p><p>Modern singing in Tokelau has been heavily influenced by foreign music. Samoan teachers introduced modern Samoan songs and Christian hymns, which the natives like to sing in the evenings. Sailors from the Ellice Islands and other parts of Polynesia taught songs from their islands. Many words written by local lyricists are based on reports of events and places in the outside world; The port of Auckland and the new wireless are the subject of current popular songs.<\/p><p>The following ancient songs, translated by Mika, were sung in accompaniment to the paddle dances performed in Atafu. Many lines refer to forgotten events and several words are no longer in the dialect. H and f were pronounced in the words and are reproduced here without transcribing them to the dialect f and s form used in other parts of the text. I couldn&#039;t get any translations for several songs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
