Navigating Island Life: Performing Musicians in the Francophone South Pacific

Music is intertwined with Pacific islander identities. The sounds of the Pacific are powerful and diverse. This diversity in music and musical traditions is evident when exploring the Francophone islands of New Caledonia, Vanuatu and French Polynesia. This chapter presents the results of a qualitative study which reviews the experiences of ten male contemporary musicians from the Francophone Pacific islands. By focusing our research on Francophone Pacific music, this chapter aims to address a significant gap in existing literature and enhance the visibility of Francophone Pacific communities and their music.
