That young man sitting down. I can tell he’s holding back his tears. Probably a dear friend that he lost or bringing memories of a certain friend. Either way. God has touched him.
I loved going to pese with my grandparents when I was little. Listening to my grandma hit the high notes and then my grandpa hit the lower and deeper notes. Till this day I don't understand my native tongue but the power of Samoan people's voices in unison is hypnotizing. Always makes me feel so grounded.
all samoans know these songs.. doesnt matter what church you go to now whether it be mormon efks methodist catholic or saog .. these songs are the first samoan christian songs
Tia Aug ITS THE FIRST CHRISTIAN SAMOAN HYMNS .... You’re missing the point.... LM/EFKS was the first samoan christian church and at one point in samoan history all samoans were EFKS... what im trying to say is these songs are all known to Samoans no matter what sect of christianity it is.... because not all churches sing these anymore apart from EFKS ... 🙄🙄
Facts... Born and raised Mormon in the Midwest but my grandparents made sure we always knew our samoan hymns growing up.. Hard not to watch this and not get teary eyed
Every time I hear Samoan hymns for some reason I always cry my eyes out because it brings back so many memories from the past with my grandparents. Amazing loving memories ❣️ Thank you for sharing
I'm born in Hawaii and of Filipino, Chinese and Spanish blood. The chanting of Hawaiian songs and all the Polynesian songs are ever so beautiful to hear. I miss home sometimes and long to return once again to feel the warm water and sandy beaches between my toes. Listening to this was so cleansing and it sounds like a religious hymn. Whichever it is, I cannot just listen once... I just can't seem to shake the harmony of it. Soothingly calm and relaxed.
I love my Samoan culture and even love hearing the Samoan men sing church songs together 🙏🏾💙…God bless all Samoan military men & their families, and I don’t want to forget Samoan military women too… God bless everyone whom are the military as well. Thank you all for serving and your sacrifice to the country 🙏🏾❤️💙💜🥰
I'm so proud to be Samoan, I'm proud of this soldiers for keeping the culture, before anything is done, we always sing praise and thank you to our heavenly father for everything in our lives. Stay true to who you all are and the blessings will be upon you always:)

+picksixtodahouse Haha What about the guys standing at the back.... 'I'm Methodist, those are the wrong words'. 'Hey uso, I'm Catholic, I dont know this song at all' 'That's cool bros, just move your lips and look serious' lol

@Pomaori LOL Bei, Maori trace their lineage back through to Samoa and beyond and that in itself demands tuakana/teina respect. Whakapapa trumps all in Maoridom, as a Maori, you should know this and if not you are Kuare. Kia ora e te teina. Samoans were involved in wars, interisland warfare with Tonga and Fiji and we were even involved in the first World War when the Germans occupied Samoa. Samoans are regular contributors to armies globally. Before YOU were Warriors, WE were Warriors.
can't get enough of this especially since today is memorial day. love love love it. malo lava le fa'amalosi. god bless the usa, everyone in the armed forces & especially their families.
Malo lava le matau ile Atua e puipuiai outou whatever you do and also you stand on God that guard you God bless you all continue to bless your work love you all heaps keep praises God thanks from Western Samoa
