Pacific Pulse
one ocean – many stories
Pacific Pulse ventures beyond the headlines with feature stories from Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia that reflect contemporary life across the Pacific and recognise the strengths, hopes, achievements and aspirations of the region.
Episode 33 – Pacific Krumpers
In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Tania Nugent is in Tonga where fakaleiti, or leitis, have a special place in family life. They're men who dress and live as women - known as fa'afafine in Samoa or kathoey in Thailand. In Tonga, the Leitis Association plays a role promoting awareness about sexual health issues like AIDS or HIV, with royal patronage from Tongan princess, the Hon. Salote Lupepau'u.
On the streets of Melbourne, Namila Benson learns the signature moves of krumping. It's a dance style that evolved in the United States from hip hop and clown dancing. In Australia, Grilla Step's brand of krumping has a strong Pacific influence, incorporating Polynesian log drumming as they take krump from the street to the stage.
