I remember watching a Torres Strait dance for the first time in 2003 at the SPG in Fiji. I found their dance the most fascinating. Like real birds. Very nice. 👍
@@richardkiwat8663kab kar is one of the most beautiful dance styles I’ve seen. Regardless if the dancers are from Mer or Erub the dances are captivating
@@LudoKuipers I've heard Torres Strait Islanders received Austronesian influence, as you can see from the dance here. It has strong Pacific Islander vibes.
@@ali40589the Torres Strait has influence from Austronesian speakers to the east, particularly aspects of culture relating to canoes and voyaging as well as some loan words in both Miriam Mir and Kalaw Lagaw Ya, but I think this dance is purely a eastern island dance without Austronesian influence
Wow, this is a powerful dance... love all their movements

Correct me if i'm wrong but they sort of look like they're mixed Australian Aboriginals with Papua New Guinean 😮
No, not mixed, Torres Strait Islanders are Melanesians, like people in PNG, not Aborigines.

@@LudoKuipers Torres strait Islander are in between Aboriginal and PNG, but they are their own race, but they are still part of Australia.
