Savea’s Pride of the Pacific, formerly known as Savea’s South Seas Special since 1979, is a professional family and performing group that showcases traditional dance and music of major Polynesian islands such as Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Samoa. They also give lectures and help clear misconceptions about the islands, their cultures and customs through dance and music. In the last 27 years, they have toured and performed nationally and internationally for many events, too much to list here. The group has appeared on several local TV stations including a national TV promotion for the Tennessee Visitors Bureau. They have played and shared the stage with many national and international performers (listed below). Besides performing for the Houston Comets, the Houston Aeros, and the Houston Astros to represent Hawaii Visitors Bureau, they have also had the honor of singing the National Anthem in the Astrodome.
