Music of the Marshall Islands

It was part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, governed by the United States, until independence in 1986.

The roro is a kind of traditional chant, usually about ancient legends and performed to give guidance during navigation and strength for mothers in labor.

In it, men and women side-step in parallel lines, creating a very difficult and complex rhythm.

There is a kind of "stick dance" performed by the Jobwa, nowadays only for very special occasions.
