Hullo, Zora here. I just stayed up way too late to completely redo the page. It could use a lot more work in the historical sources AND a good going-over by a qualified ethnomusicologist. I'm a musical ignoramus. I can't describe the music other than by saying that it's plaintive and minor-key, but I'm sure an ethnomusicologist could go into details of scales and such that are completely beyond me. Calling all Oceanic ethnomusicologists!
- Great work on what you've done so far, Zora! It's coming along nicely... Tuf-Kat 22:14, Mar 15, 2004 (UTC) (P.S. You can sign your name on talk pages with three tildes (~~~) or four to include the date and time)
Hey all, I put in the best lead section I could put together based on what was in the article, which I think is pretty adequate for now. If you haven't figured it out already I know nothing about Tongan music, so I took what I could get from the article as it was and paraphrased it. I hope someone who has a bit (preferably a lot, which is pretty easy in this subject) more knowledge than me will come along and do Tongan music some justice with a solid, accurate, professional lead section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galt42 (talk • contribs) 07:25, 11 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
