Got mama Vina to sit with me and tell us a bit about her uncle Gerard🥺 Check out the song with his whistle if you haven't yet: naika.ffm.to/liip Love yall ♥️
love and appreciate that fact that you took your time to share the story about Uncle Gerard .. beautiful soul.. beautiful music.. always centers my heart. Never stop singing! 🇹🇹
Your great uncle Gerard sounds like someone so cool. I'm glad I got to hear how his whistle sounded like because it truly is beautiful and the fact that you delivered it with such a beautiful song ❤ Thank you, Näika
You should digitally transfer Gerard's vinyl to ensure it's survival. It would be a shame for the only (possibly) vinyl that exists to be destroyed or damaged without rescuing its contents first.
Quelle complicité fusionnelle entre Naika et sa maman. Que vous êtes belles toutes les 2 et qu'est-ce que j'aurais aimé vous entendre aussi parler Français et Créole, que vous parlez aussi bien que l'Anglais ! Racontez-nous comment vous êtes arrivés à être aussi riches de toutes vos cultures de la Caraïbe ?
The song is beautiful, the story is beautiful, your mom is beautiful, you're beautiful and Uncle Gerard seemed larger than life. This is the first time that I can truly say that I've fallen in love with a song. I love it.
How beautiful mwen kontan tande bèl istwa sa, chante a si telman bèl nou fè mwen kriye . What a beautiful legacy to carry... and it is such a precious way to honour him.
I feel special to hear these stories because they are amazing and also i feel like im here really early for your journey. You should be the #1 artist this year
while falling in love for the second time again, I found this song and was instantly obsessed. I think he is going to propose soon.. and it brought me back to Naika, and this video and isn't just so freaking beautiful how love channels it's way through, from your uncle, to you, to me. Ugh
Came here from your tiktok reposted by Knowyourcaribbean on IG. the story of Gerard touched me, something is so beautiful when we can sing throught our ancestors and they get to live again through us. Commenting so I can say I was here before your blew up.
I am your fan dear naika , you are talented, beautiful, smart with amazing sound, and thanks a lot for your mother sharing her valuable story she is so nice!
Knowing the story behind that legendary whistle makes that song the best song you have made yet.
