Imene tuki

An Imene tuki 'hymn of grunts' is a traditional hymn of the Cook islands. It is unaccompanied singing noted for a drop in pitch at the end of phrases, and rhythmic nonsensical syllables, comparable to Scat singing. Similar nonsense syllables and improvisations are found in Tahitian Himene tarava.
