Popular music In the 1980s, Fijian performers like Laisa Vulakoro and Lagani Rabukawaqa became pan-Pacific stars. Vulakoro is especially well known for her part in creating "vude", a popular style that combines disco, country and island music (especially the meke rhythm), rock and roll and jazz (for which the islands are rightly famous). Other modern performers include the bands Nuku Katudrau, Karuna Gopalan, Rosiloa (Black Rose), Danny Costello, Michelle Rounds, Seru Serevi The Freelancers. Reggae is also a popular music genre in Fiji, as is jazz. Notes and references External links Artist View Short films about Fijian music and dance culture. Music in Fiji Fijian music
