ROSALIO - O LE UPU (The Word)

About the Group:
They called themselves "Rosalio" - a brand-new group with most members having their first experience of band music and group singing. Taufale Filipo, the leader, is the only one with previous experience, having played for the musical groups, Fauula and Punialava'a, in Western Samoa. The group is obviously a family affair, building on the experience of Taufale. With the enthusiasm of his cousins, Alapati Tuua, Taunuuga Keniseli and his brother Faimafili, they were able to start compositions like "Rosalio", "Taulaga", and "O le Tusi". Being Samoan-born before migrating to New Zealand, they were equipped with a good knowledge of Samoan lyrics, and this was put to good use by Taufale, who write and arranged all the songs.
The harmonious singing carries an element of the traditional style, though modern and comtemporary arrangements are a feature of Rosalio's style of serenading. The dominating influence in the instrumental accompaniment of all songs must again be credited to the leader, Taufale.
