Side 1.
Ulric Williams introduces the programme 'Polynesian music' No.2

It opens with a party song from Rarotonga, 'This is where we gather in a crowd, where we sit down and drink, where we dance and sing'.

A song from Tahiti 'Te Maru Tafano' performed by Eddie Lund and his Tahitian Orchestra.

A song from the Cook Islands telling of a soldier returning from war (the words suggest all the girls love a soldier)

And finally a song from Samoa 'Tofa Mai Feleni', a popular song of farewell, sung by a group of Samoans in both Samoan and English.
