Interviews from Tonga and Fiji

Posted on Monday, October 12th, 2009 in Audio, Interviews, Pacific Break competition

We have some new interviews for you, featuring Pacific Break’s friends in the region.

Arnold and Mona Lisa are both radio announcers in Tonga and we spoke to them about some of the beautiful entries we received from Tonga, mixing traditional sounds with a contemporary style. They spoke about how Tongans absolutely love music and competing in music competitions like Pacific Break!

Hailing from Suva, Fiji, Kurt Koroi is a breakfast announcer on 2dayFm. Kurt told us about how competitions like Pacific Break help emerging artists come out of their shell and push them into the limelight. The Fijian music scene is seeing a move from rap towards reggae, and we were lucky to receive a lot of entries from the nation’s exciting young artists.
