- The music of the real Lord of the Flies. The Six castaway boys of Ata Island in Tonga.
In 2015 we were lucky to get Kolo to remember and play the song he composed in Ata island during the time he was stranded with his other 5 friends.
Spanish explorer Alvaro Cerezo spent 10 days in Ata alone with Kolo Fekitoa, one of the six young castaways. And Kolo played the song on the island with a guitar made by coconut, timber and the wire from the wreck of the boat.
Months before starting the adventure in Ata, Alvaro got him a guitar in Nukualofa Town and asked Kolo to practice for weeks until he remembered the song.
If you wish to know more about the documentary and book we are launching this summer you can visit our blog

He has got such a sweet and gentle voice. Tears were his sustenance yet he longed to return to the island at the end of his life and live there like he did before...
yes he does. It is such an emotional song
He's probably had several real life jobs that aren't very entertaining to most of the audience.
When it talk about the most purest forms of music, this is it.
🙂
I missed you so much Kolo Rest in love to this Grandpa Kolo Fekitoa ofaadu Till we meet again😘💗💗

Omg 😱sooo heart touching songs😢
We got goosebumps when we listened the song for the first time. Specially when we understood the lyrics :)
Thanks for sharing this story with us Alvaro.
Thanks Dominique :)
New band name: Emo Castaways 😂 I honestly went into this video thinking it would be more of a cheerful song, a song they made to lift their spirits. Which I now realize is a naive thought. I can’t imagine how tough it was to survive what they went through. Hats off and major major respect to these humans.
haha
Ofa atu and thank you!
:)
They cheered each other up how they could, music is a great way to do that.
Great story and videos, keep going! (you deserve x100 your current subscribers!)
Thanks so much :) :) :)
Deep and profound a truely amazing story.

Thank you so much for making and sharing this with the world. I wish I could read the lyrics in the original Tongan whilst listening too - maybe someday... :)
Thank you so much.
Thanks to you for watching :)
Here the lyrics in Tongan original language: Ko ‘emau fo’i hiva ki Ata Si’eku talanoa eni ki he anga ‘o e Fonua ‘I hono faingata’a ‘o e hake ki ‘uta Mo e fakalilifu ‘o e ongo mo’unga Ka hala si’ate laka kuote to ki moana ‘Aho e ne puli pea ne ta’e’iloa Si’ete kai mo inu ‘a lo’i fofonga Ifo kiate kita ‘a e mate ki faitoka He ‘ete nofo hopoate ‘i he motu ta’e’iloa Siosionoa teke ngalo nai ‘a fe Si’ete mo’ui ni ne tu’ula ia koe Tali paea ko si’oto fale Teke toki ngalo pe ‘i ha’aku mate Tau ‘A si’ete tangi ni fai mei he ate Ka koloto si’a ‘utu te ne hake Ka neu ui ki he Ta’eHamai Ke ne tokonia si’oku mamahi
@@Docastaway Blimey! By the speed of your reply you seemed to have them on hand already.
Hope others get to see this. Don't know if you know but this video was featured on UniLad on Facebook - 1.3 million views. I've shared the Tongan lyrics with others in the comment section so they can see.
Looking forward to the documentary's release..!

HARD TO BELIEVE THAT WHILE BEING RESCUED THEY GRABBED THE GUITAR
