SUVA Entertainment

Fiji’s reputation as a ‘sun, sand and sea’ holiday destination paints only part of a very broad picture of what the country has to offer the discerning traveller.

While visitors flock to our idyllic isles in search of some rest and relaxation – many have discovered something that Fijians are gifted for, and we’re not talking rugby. Our Fijian people are natural entertainers, gifted singers and talented musicians.

The capital Suva is full of good music, it’s just a matter of where to look and how to find it.
