Polynesia is a group of island chains spread across much of the Pacific Ocean and includes many countries and territories. Internationally Polynesian music is mostly associated with twinkling guitars and grass skirts Hawaiian hula and other tourist-friendly forms of music.[citation needed] While these elements are justifiably a part of Polynesian history and Polynesian culture there is actually a wide variety of music made in the far-flung reaches of Polynesia.
