Hi all. I will be so happy and grateful if someone can help me. I have been to F.P. nine times and am actually right now on Rangiroa. Back in the early 80's, after staying on then unpsoiled Bora Bora, I would stay a few days at the wonderful Hotel Tahara'a on Tahiti. I used to hear a song that I remember was played during the day through the hotels sound system when I was out by the pool. I loved it. It was a solo female voice sung slowly, and accompanied by mimimal instrumentation. When it came on I was usually sunbathing and it would completely and totally mesmerize me. So soothing and relaxing it was. Sung in Tahitian so I don't know words except for the last 30 seconds of the song. The vocalist finished with two or three repeats of Vahine Tahiti. Sung slow and beautifully, Vahine Tah-hiti ended it. Does anyone have a clue? I asked the beautiful Marquesan barmaid Maria and she thought it was Poline, that was apparently wrong. It's not Emma Terangi who sings a song with that title, not close. It's not Mila or Maire either, at least what I can find on streaming services like Spotify. Does anyone know this song? AI service Gemini sent me here. Thanks for anyone's help. Mike
