The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo International Student Association<\/a> presents International Nights 2012 on Friday, February 17 and Saturday, February 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo Performing Arts Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This annual show features performances from around the world—Hawaiʻi<\/span>, Samoa, the Philippines, Micronesia, Korea, New Zealand, Palau, Ireland and more.<\/p>\n

Special Indonesian performance<\/h2>\n

The February 17 show features a special performance by a visiting group from Indonesia, who will perform excerpts from the Randai play, The Genteel Sabai<\/em>, which features 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.<\/p>\n
