Music 

            The music of Samoa is integral to life in the country. The part most important and essential always has been the voice. Singers mourn, rejoice, and reflect every emotion. The past, present, and sometimes the near future are put to song. Everyone sings, despite the cause, despite the situation, and most often, despite one's ability to do so.

Conteporanea musical:

                  There is a Samoan rap group in the United States, The Boo-Yaa Tribe who achieved brief worldwide fame. But the most famous musician is Jerome Gray, who's song "We Are Samoa" has become an unofficial second national anthem.
