The traditional music of Tuvalu consists of a number of dances, including ''fakaseasea'', ''fakanau'' and ''fatele''. The ''fatele'', in its modern form, is performed at community events and to celebrate leaders and other prominent individuals, such as the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in September 2012. The Tuvaluan style can be described "as a musical microcosm of Polynesia, where contemporary and older styles co-exist".
