I lived i n Honiara from 1968 to 1971. This song was sung by the entertainment at The Guadalcanal club!!! It br ings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you!
I lived there in 1961 - 78. The Guadalcanal Club is now the USP.
I'm from Nicaragua but I would like to go there one day.
Wolfman, I was talking about the song at the beginning of the video. Is there somewhere I can hear the original traditional version of the song. Best memories of my life were spent there. I lived at number 9 Mbura Ridge, license plate of our car was 1234!!
I plan to visit Honiara. It has a lot of improvement. I previously lived and work in Honiara in 1989 to 1992.
Thanks for putting this up..Honiara has grown heaps since I was there as a kid back in 1968-70....the place is huge!!....I was hoping you would get further along to the Guadalcanal Club...Lawson Tama and the local school we went to abit further on....Regards....Laurie
Am from east Africa and I feel connected to Solomon Islands ,Papua New Guinea and fiji
MY LAST VISIT TO HONIARA WAS BACK IN 2006 . THIS VIDEO TELLS ME, HONIARA HAS GROW AND DEVELOPED . BE GREAT TO VISIT AGAIN .
Amazing how the music of the Solomon's has a very "Caribbean" sound..
A friend of mine, whose father was a Danish anthropologist studying Rennell and Bellona gave a bunch of Reggae records to the radio station. It didnt' take long for the love of the Rasta Man to take hold.
The original actually sounds more like folk this is just a cover by the samoan band The Five Stars
Its beautiful and amazing and awesome.
Love from Mumbai,India
Hey Laurie.
Mate you just brought back some memories for me from the G Club.
I miss this joint so much as well, when I last worked in the Solomons I lived on Vella, but i loved rocking back to Honiara whenever I could, beetle nut and all.
Nothing to afraid of bro..Our Islands are paradise, u're so welcome
Beautiful song, thanks!
Solomons Mi lovem iu! Yes my husband and i took my 6 year old to solomons for 5 yers it was a life changing journey- many gud ting ting blo me

Drive along/through this small town from 4-6 pm during off work would take more than one hr..thanks Estee for the post..green hilux ia tumas na
Bloody traffic wherever you go. Seriously though I pick up a sense of a laid back, happy town. Looks beautiful
Hey Paul.
Matey thanks for uploading the clip, this brings back such great memories, I remember some of the places but much of it seems so different. The only real places I remember are the market place near Pt Cruz and what I assume is the Mendana Motel and some of the government buildings, towards the end I recognised nothing altho I assume it was down towards the old Boral office and the old Club 88!
place belong yumi, wontok, tenk yu tumas
I was there in 1972. Witching this and on google Earth, I could not find the market place, where my step dad had the fish market and "The Dairy".
@@BradHouser "The Dairy" - is that place was on firsy near the seafront/Point Cruz?
@@paulsimister4168 It was next to the open market, which I think is in the same place but bigger. It made ice cream and milk using the "Mechanical Cow", which mixed powdered and liquid ingredients to make reconstituted, pastuerized and homogenized milk and ice cream. It sold a lot of soft serve cones on pay day.
I guess we are very spoiled here in the U.S. I would love to visit Solomon Island. People seem to be very nice, genuine and not so entitled like many in the U.S.
nice video. But why at 4:36 Girl ran away from those two guys?
I think that person was just looking for break in traffic to run across road. Neither pedestrian underpass at Central Market or Pt Cruz used that much back in 2012.
Eat beatlenut and drink solbrew and chill...
Kai viti Warrior typical Solomon way...haha nice one
Nice honiara 😁remember time 2016 n 2017 working there.😁
@human being sorry ,cause no idea about education there..I think there got international school.
@human being we spend more time working at Shortland. No survey on education. Ok tq
@human being Woodford International School at Kukum, next to SDA Church, opposite Fishing Village Market.
Beautiful ❤ im going to the Solomon Islands
knyree Welcome Welcome
I'm a tourist from Europe.I'll go to your island sonn.Should I be affraid of any thing?Is it dangerous for tourists?Thank you
I think Solomon islands is much safer than your own country. It is peaceful and naturally beautiful. People always greeting with smiling faces. Just go there and see for yourself. Peacefull solomon islands.
I want to visit this city just to see, kiss and give a huge to the one that I love most cuz I'v been longing to see him..missed u
beware you will get murder there . because couple of my friends being murder for money and sensless on april 16.2017
i love your city
Yeah that's definitely true, population in Honiara has increased a lot, however, the town is not expanding, since the 1970's i guess
Nice song..
is there any problem for overstay....
Thank you Wontok, Yes yes One Melanesian for life...cheers wantok
Looks a lot cleaner than in 2016. I've just returned from a trip that included one day in Honiara-very dirty now. Shame really-seems to have potential.
Wish I could permanently move there.
you will get murder there . my couple friends just got murder for money and sensless
@@tannyhong7271 did you mean the Chinese couple who were murdered in their house (shop) at town ground in Honiara?...so sad for this poor couple...they were so innocent and humble human beings brutally murdered by some senseless individuals...glad that the murderers were apprehended few weeks after the incident..now they are rotting in jail...
Wow, Honiara have change clean and beatuifull, soon a Metropolitan city.
@1:58 I know that bridge....and Chung Wah School (my school) is on the left...lol
Nice contrie from DRC 🇨🇩🧘🏻♂️
Its ma happy isles home
does anyone know approximately how much is a round trip from USA to Solomon islands?
Between $1500 and $2500 per person. Check Google flights to HIR.
I love honiara..,7 up... im stay
Wow more traffic since the 1970's but not quite the Gold Coast of Aust. yet thank God
Solomon Take care of your own country do not interfere in the affairs of other countries
What language is the song in
The first one is Pidgin English, the second one is English.
Slightly different Pidgin from what I used to speak as a kid there...50 years ago today! Laurie
Kukum Highway to town...
Matey its going to be quite expensive the trip to Brisbane Australia would be cheaper then Brisbane to Honiara!
Matey this I would suggest is one of the safest places on the planet, the people are friendly, decent and the salt of the earth.
The other main touristy place is Gizo which is lovely, its a small town built on on small bay (the towns airport is on an adjacent island, not far from where PT 109 was cut in half (JFK US President) in WW2!
Its worth a visit and the flight over the islands is second only to coastal Thailand.
The song was totally wrongly pronounced in its wordings.
Why would you be scared?
Vinaka vaka levu wontok...cheers
Can you live here? I mean come there and stay forever? Or government will kick your ass :D
what is like back 70s
Fafetai Taina
hem nma na yia biki brou....green hilux yia nma na yia..ehehhehe
Sore Honiara.
sipii...
singing in Solomon native language not English
Pidgin English
the Solomon Islands have many different regional languages that are mutually unintelligible to each other. English is their national language however only around 2 percent of their population speaks English. Radio shows are still popular in the Solomon Islands because of that fact.
I was there 2010. Very dirty place, very very poor country. No body using slipper. Shit...like a jungle, no city 👎
Shit hole? Hahahahahah🤣🤣🤣
im from fiji.....i love the solomons though ive never been there. honiara looks like a big city.....nice roads
Poor country
Yet no beggars n people are happy what more can one ask for.
