This song is from a playlist I love listening to that has a bunch of French Polynesia/Tahitian music, and it’s a great example of relaxing reggae ‘ocean soul’ music (which I love). The purpose of the song is that “Haamaruaraa” in Tahitian translates roughly to “bring light, clarity, or explanation to something”. The musical characteristics of the song are that it primarily has a female vocalist who sings a high pitch with a slower rhythm, with a ukulele in the background providing a steady tempo, and an electric guitar providing a low-pitched texture. Plus, around the 50-second mark, some male background singers enter, providing texture and harmony, providing a sort of ‘warm’ feeling, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Overall, it all comes together to harmonize into a beautiful, relaxing, slow, and fun song that culminates in a beach vibe.
