Topatangi
Topatangi is a band based in Rapa Nui, whose style is a balanced mixture of folk, country, Mexican rancheras and pop-rock, all of which seem to be musical influences that appear to coexist in Rapa Nui. The group was created in 1998 with Tomas Tepano (Tahitian ukulele and vocals) and Peteriko Pate (lead guitar and vocals) who came together and produced a song called "Hokulea", in honour of an expedition commanded by Kitín Muñoz, who sought to discover the routes of Polynesian migrations.
