Polynesian Styles

[Naleo]

Does anyone know of any available Polynesian rhythms for iReal Pro or for any rhythms in the works, and where I might find them? By Polynesian I mean Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, or other south pacific islands.

Sorry no, there are no plans to develop rhythms from those countries at the moment.
Out of interest, are you referring to some of the more percussive rhythms from that region (presumably not the lovely vocal work, which would be difficult to reproduce).

I play both classical Hawaiian music, from such composers as Charles King, David Kalakaua, etc. and newer composers from the 20th and 21st century. But I do thank you for responding to my post.

A lot of music from Tahiti and Cook Islands use latin type
beats, ie bossa nova, samba, bolero, rumba. Would love to access those styles here to play as accompaniment but havent come close. There are a lot of excersice tutorials but im not interested in that.
