The University of Hawaii at Hilo International Student Association will present International Nights 2012 at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 17-18, in the UH-Hilo Performing Arts Center.
This popular annual show features performances from around the world and is a favorite of students, the community and visitors. Among the many cultures which will be represented are Hawaii, Samoa, the Philippines, Micronesia, Korea, New Zealand, Palau, Ireland and the mainland U.S.
The first night’s show will also include a special performance by a visiting group from Indonesia. The group will perform excerpts from the Randai play “The Genteel Sabai,” featuring dance, music, songs and martial arts.
Randai is a traditional folk dance-drama of Indonesia, closely connected to the spiritual and cultural life of the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra. Traditionally performed in the villages for communal celebrations, Randai features elements of various performing arts that are uniquely Minang.
