I am so proud of being a pacific islander. I am mixed Melanesian and Polynesian. I live in Australia and this makes me miss my costal home SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! All my Pacific brothers and sisters whether Polynesian, Melanesian or Micronesian be proud of your culture and heritage and please like this comment
I am a Fiji Indian and found the music video in 2024. I remember dancing on this song when I was in kindergarten in 2007. Beautiful memories. The Pacific Island culture is one of the most beautiful cultures I have seen and it should be preserved. These kinds of songs should be made viral on social media platforms.
Really love this song! This shows how unique we Pacificians are in the global context! Proud to be part of this lovely part of the world, the Pacific Islands!
I’m Solomon island born. I have white Australian father. Mum is from Kiribati but raised in Solomon’s. I’ve lived in Aus most my life but very proud of my island culture. Remember all the island celebrations I attended as a child and hearing this song and watching the dance performances. Very proud Melanesian. When I’m having drinks and kicking it with my Samoan and Maori friends this song is a must in the playlist.
iam from fiji islands...in all school function...this song was played n students preformed...love this song...lots of memeory connected from school days
sweta prasad so true I am in vashist muni college at the moment 2018 me and my i taukei girls and friends always perform this item number everyone loves it very much
The harmony on the chorus is pure joy! I love Te Vaka and this song in particular. These dancers really evoke the song. That young girl dancing in front is absolutely gorgeous--and you know she knows it when she gives the camera a wink. You slay, gurrl!😅❤
Thank you for your kind words ♥️ Was an awesome collective of dancers from across the Pacific .. on contract with us (Heilani) .. in Macau .. back in October 2012
I really love Te Vaka’s music. I’m Alifuru tribe in Molo’uku Islands. We are Pacific Islanders too. So proud🔥. Many people said we are Melanesian. But culturally, I think we are Polynesian. Moluccan are just similar to the people in Hawai’i, Tonga and Aotearoa. And also, we have many similarities in language. TABEA !!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, we are all one people! This is the first time I have heard of your Culture! Thank you for sharing! Sending Happiness & Joy!
Here in Australia, we love learning about the culture of our neighbours, the pacific islands! In music class, we have a whole term to learn about the beautiful musical culture of these lands and I am in love ❤️❤️❤️
As a kid back in primary school..I attend a Fijian school n I danced in this song whenever a school event came up...now that I'm 17 years old I miss those moments..love all my pacific brothers n sisters and miss those moments when I danced in this beautiful song
This song is perfect very fantastic and I am a Pacific Islander And I was born in Fiji This is the best song for South Pacific Islanders to listen to. (in love with the song very much.) 🇫🇯. I always listen to the song whenever I am bored or Not having a bright mind, bright day or something Like that or if I'm not in a good mood 😉 👁️👄👁️ 🇫🇯.
Aloha kae'a. Thanks for your comments. Most of the dancers in the video are from Tahiti. We also have Maori, Hawaiians, Samoans and cook islanders. All of the dancers represent the pacific. Mahalo
Thank you for your observation...Yes, this video footage was definitely Tahitian dance inspired... It is a contemporary expression of cultural dance from the Pacific!!
Can you imagine being the first Europeans to see and hear something like this? After a year of traveling on rough seas with only men, and coming from cold, dark and grey countries with prudish and conservative culture. I would have lost my mind. Must have been like a psychedelic experience. No wonder a lot of them stayed and never left back with their boats! 🎉❤ Mutiny on the HMS Bounty. 😂
@heilaniproductions thank you for uniting us all with this amazing song and for creating beautiful memories for all Pacific children and families! I'm so honored that you took the time to reply ❤️ from a PatePate girl 🌺
So beautiful I wish I grew up like my mum did dancing like this I'm born in Australia but my mum is from the Solomon islands and I've been there to visit family and I absolutely miss the traditional festivals and dancing party's so much joy they would have 😁
I'm half Flip/half Poly (don't know what island, my dad deuced out before I was born), but yea, I loved this video! Thanks for sharing! We did a dance to this song in the islands too, wish I had a recording of it. Keep sharing the dances! Ta!
Este estilo de música está sanando mi alma , más luz, más positividad, más visión de evolucionar a la luz al mejorar en mis relaciones con el mundo que me rodea, gracias.
