Log drum
get up stand up let your feelings be known
the time has come to perform the dance
get up stand up let your intentions be known
swaying ever so sweetly the message in the dance
Oh! Oh!
the boys are very bold
Oh! Oh!
the girls are very bold
Oh! Oh!
the dancers are very bold
Oh! Oh!
Watch me now, it’s my turn to show
“How is the fishing with you, how is it?” (Girl)
“The fish that I truly long for” (Boy)
“How is the fishing with you, how is it? (Girl)
dance on up, dance just like that
dancing ever so sweetly to the Pate Pate (logdrum) X2
chant:
dance on up, dance on down
Dancing ever so sweetly to the rhythms of the log drum

I’m Solomon island born. I have white Australian father. Mum is from Kiribati but raised in Solomon’s. I’ve lived in Aus most my life but very proud of my island culture. Remember all the island celebrations I attended as a child and hearing this song and watching the dance performances. Very proud Melanesian. When I’m having drinks and kicking it with my Samoan and Maori friends this song is a must in the playlist.
Pretty sure every Pacific Islander has danced to this at school concert 😂💖 This song has great memories 💫
Omg they were such good memories. I only remember this song from dancing to it
This song sounds a lot like the one in Moana, but then, the chorus starts and some old memory from my childhood and teenagehood comes back.
True im form fiji and when i was in kindegarden i danced to this song 😊
🙋
Yes I have 😂
I am so proud of being a pacific islander. I am mixed Melanesian and Polynesian. I live in Australia and this makes me miss my costal home SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! All my Pacific brothers and sisters whether Polynesian, Melanesian or Micronesian be proud of your culture and heritage and please like this comment

I am a Fiji Indian and found the music video in 2024. I remember dancing on this song when I was in kindergarten in 2007. Beautiful memories. The Pacific Island culture is one of the most beautiful cultures I have seen and it should be preserved. These kinds of songs should be made viral on social media platforms.
Pate pate wonderful song, dance too. I love maori music. Te vaka group - simply the best. From Slovenija European Union. City Koper. Fans of Te Vaka.
Growing up Papua New Guinean in the 2000s was hearing this song at school assemblies and watching girls dance to this song 🤣❤️
We love this song too!!
I'm proud to be Tahitian.!!!
Every Fijian kid who grew up in the early 2000s must have heard this at some point.....
Here in Australia, we love learning about the culture of our neighbours, the pacific islands! In music class, we have a whole term to learn about the beautiful musical culture of these lands and I am in love ❤️❤️❤️
Aloha,. We are based in Brisbane, Australia. We love sharing the beautiful Polynesian Culture with the world
I remember my sister use to do those Tahitian dance with this song during parties ❤ all love from us Micronesians
1212hrs here in Fiji , hooked onto this song.. reminiscing good old primary school memories 💕
I just moved in France and i kinda missed my island vibes so here i am going through all the old polynesian songs 😭🇵🇫🇳🇨🇼🇫
Pate Pate still rocking in 2024 and loving to see the Heilani Dancers videos here- thank you for sharing!
😍😍☮
Oh my goodness you guys are to good 👏👏🤗😮🕺💃
Best dancers I have seen dance to this song 🤩🇫🇯 you guys are awesome.
Thank you for your kind words ♥️
Was an awesome collective of dancers from across the Pacific .. on contract with us (Heilani) .. in Macau .. back in October 2012
Grettings from MEXICO!!!!..
Love this song.
This song is perfect very fantastic and I am a Pacific Islander
And I was born in Fiji This is the best song for South Pacific Islanders to listen to. (in love with the song very much.)
🇫🇯.
I always listen to the song whenever I am bored or
Not having a bright mind, bright day or something
Like that or if I'm not in a good mood 😉 👁️👄👁️
🇫🇯.
👁️👄👁️🇫🇯.
Loved this song when it came out and it has the same charm today... proud to be an islander!
They are not only awesome dancers, they're all cute handsome guys and the girls are fabulously pretty.
I really love Te Vaka’s music. I’m Alifuru tribe in Molo’uku Islands. We are Pacific Islanders too. So proud🔥. Many people said we are Melanesian. But culturally, I think we are Polynesian. Moluccan are just similar to the people in Hawai’i, Tonga and Aotearoa. And also, we have many similarities in language. TABEA !!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, we are all one people!
This is the first time I have heard of your Culture! Thank you for sharing!
Sending Happiness & Joy!
This is the first I have heard as well. I love Polynesian people and their culture, food, story telling. Where abouts is your island? ❤
I'm fijian but my grandmother descendant from Hawaii/Israel.
❤❤ the song.
Shout-out from across The Pacific Ocean, My #2023 CookIsland and pacific people. Where y'all at ?
Aloha!!
As a kid back in primary school..I attend a Fijian school n I danced in this song whenever a school event came up...now that I'm 17 years old I miss those moments..love all my pacific brothers n sisters and miss those moments when I danced in this beautiful song
the pacific has so much fun. i love you neighbors.
Still watching this 2020 never gets old, it's the best thing to come back and discover your culture and roots ❤️
Proud to be tokelauen! 🇹🇰

Anybody else just going back to the dances they did when they were younger cause quarantine is happening and there’s nothing better to do? 😂😂😂🙋🏽♀️
Aloha kae'a. Thanks for your comments. Most of the dancers in the video are from Tahiti. We also have Maori, Hawaiians, Samoans and cook islanders. All of the dancers represent the pacific. Mahalo
Heimana Tahiata I don't see any Maori culture in this video just straight up taihiti cook island
Thank you for your observation...Yes, this video footage was definitely Tahitian dance inspired...
It is a contemporary expression of cultural dance from the Pacific!!
This is so beautiflu, I'm so thankful to be from the Pacific, all polynesians, micronesians and melanesians have incredible rich cultures

Demi Moore - Maori are Polynesians. Descendants of Polynesians from other islands in the Pacific. Therefore, Maori are Islanders too.

2021 and I’m still listening to this 💯
It never gets old! We still love this song!
proud to be a penrhyn TAHITI .... penrhyn is one of the island in the cook island . this is our culture
this is why i want to visit the pacific islands. not for the beaches, not for the sun. for its people, its history, its culture, and the beautiful languages.
that’s really the only reason a person should visit ANYWHERE, really… it’s just that the pacific islands tend to not get the right sort of attention, instead just being “vacation resorts”.
there’s more to be found than just sand and surf, guys. there really is. just talk to a local or two and discover the truth :)
Trop bien !!! Majestueux !!!
Māuruuru (Merci)
Beautiful dance with beautiful performers...
Omg❤️❤️❤️ my Fiji song. Still love this song. Still love my Fiji .
Vinaka :)
❤Pate' Pate' 💃🕺✨ I've always enjoyed the performances we have at the night markets here in the Northern Mariana Island's🏝 especially here in Saipan 😊🤟🌴"💖"

I'm proud to be Polynesian/Samoa ^-^
Glad that I found this, it brings back some memories :)
Merci...
