Where is Samoa situated in the Pacific?
The Independent State of Samoa (formerly known as Western Samoa) is located south of the equator, in the Polynesian region of the Pacific Ocean, about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand. The Polynesian group of islands known as Samoa consists of two main islands Upolu and Savai’i and seven smaller islets.
What does the flag look like?
It consists of a red field with a blue rectangle in the canton. The blue rectangle bears the Southern Cross: four large white stars and one smaller star.
What is the music like?
Modern Samoan music shows influence from electrical instruments, jazz, and reggae, and even some house and techno styles.
Many resorts and hotels host weekly fiafia nights, which normally includes dancing and dinner cooked in the traditional way. Dance demonstrations can also be found at Samoa’s cultural fale in Apia.
