Oe Himene are formal choral Tahitian songs, often of religious nature. Himene is a Tahitian term derived from the English word hymn. Since the first European contact by Captain Samuel Wallis, English Protestantism was expanded to the island by missionaries. Himene are based in verse and harmonic structure on Protestant hymns. Himene performances take place during festivities as well as a major competition on Bastille Day. A more raucous set of songs is called himene tarava.
