The Flower Girls of Fiji The flower girls of Fiji will greet you in the night, those Melanesian melodies will set your soul alight. From parapet to pulpit you hear them sweetly sing, inspiring minstrel-paupers and poet-prophet-kings. And disempowered magicians are hypnotized with hope, and pipers are performing for presidents and popes. And acrobats are leaping from death-defying heights, while little girls are flying their luminescent kites. The flower girls of Fiji will set your heart aflame, the mask of man is lifted, the mongrel dog is tamed. Damian Balassone
