Playing two shows on the island of Bora Bora, Jimmy Buffet and his band of Coral Reefers raised $40,000 to build a park and playground for Tahitian children. The band was joined during the two shows by Bora Bora local musician John Gabilou and a Tahitian girls’ local singing group.
Bora Bora has long been a favorite port of call for Buffet as the troubadour wrote his famous tune “One Particular Harbor” about one his visits to the island and recorded the track while in Tahiti in 1982. Buffet talked his promoter Tom Moffat into a trip to Tahiti where his music wasn’t known. Jimmy recalls opening for hulu dancers and a beauty contest. No wonder he loves Tahiti so much!
But there’s this one particular harbour
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
And finally disappear
-”One Particular Harbor” by Jimmy Buffett
