To'utupu'24: Boys MAKO

The Mako is a fast-paced dance from Tonga which is performed by young men. Accompanied by an extremely fast rhythm on a drum or tin can, dancers perform wild gestures involving their entire bodies; they point in various directions, run, sit, roll, or lie down repeatedly and in quick succession. The dance originated in ʻUvea and is only rarely performed in Tonga.
This shows the evolution of our Youth start practice in June to when they performed for the LA Kuata this past Saturday in Colton.
Punake: Heneli Palu
Music: DJ Noiz Vai Ko Fakalavelave
