Da Kine Live Band

Tropical sounds of Polynesia

Our experienced musicians know how to find the right tone whenever you want to create a tropical atmosphere.

When the evening starts our live-band will welcome your guests with sweet Hawaiian sounds.

Their exciting drums and enchanting songs will accompany the dancers in the show. In this, our Da Kine Live band is unique for the Netherlands.

Melodic guitar music

Romantic nights of Hawai´i

The romantic and beautiful sound of Hawaiian music is ideal to start of a tropical evening. In sets of 30 or 45 minutes Da Kine will bring your guests in a relaxed atmosphere.

Moreover the band will accompany the dancers in the show while dancing their Hula Auana with two acoustic guitars and one bass guitar.

For the more uptempo Hawaiian dances the ukulele is also being used.

To'ere drums and ukelele

The rythm of Tahiti

For the Tahitian Ote´a Da Kine will use the authentic 'to'ere' drums as well as a bass-drum. In these dances you will hear the original Tahitian drums which will determin the pace of the exciting dances.

In this picture you see Da Kine performing in a drum session, in which three 'to'ere' drums, a bass drum and a big 'pahu' drum are used. De to'ere is a horizontal split gong wooden drum which is made out of Polynesian hardwood. It is played with hard wooden drumsticks. Because of its shape the Pahu drum will give a low bass-sound.

The cheerful Tahitian 'Aparima' feature the guitar, the bass-drum and ukulele which have become important since their introduction by European settlers.
