We always had these songs playing on TV growing up in PNG. Black Rose, Edou, Siva Pacifica, OK! Ryos, Vanessa Quai, Pati, Tim & Wececa, Gurujela... etc (also our local songs as well). Brings so much nostalgia.
Simpellamb It so happens I am a retired soundengineer. A big piece of my heart belongs to Polynesia! Always! I long to Fiji and Tonga EVERY DAY since my first visit in 2001 I even have some kava left so Bula bula my friends! I brought a lot of kava to Sweden last time I was in Tonga and found out after coming home that I was a smuggler!! I brought 2 kilo to Sweden and most countries have a limit of 500 gr. Living on the edge...
Oh my! I can't believe it! I am from the Caucasus & I am listening to the music of your area for the first time, but i can hear the familiar motives of the Georgian chorus singing! I am impressed how the peoples are connected, love love from the distant lands!)

I grew up listening to Black Rose and always dreamed of performing with such amazing talented musicians. I had the privilege of performing alongside Nemani Vanua and Jim Ratusila, which was a dream come true and would like to wish thank them for allowing me to pursue my music career. I give credit where credit is due and wishing them nothing but Love and prosperity!
I'm samoan and this song is killing it man I listen to it all the time so I'm glad that I have my favorite Fijian song know it's time for me to go look for Tongan songs
The Original song is ‘Raude Meke’.Its a Traditional Meke Song For Fijian. Then later in the Album this Version Was Created For All South Pacific Islanders.

You can’t change the culture like that Fijians are black yes but they are a different breed. Literal warriors in paradise who act similar to Polynesians
Incorporating African elements is nothing unique either there is no African influence in the middle of the pacific not south east Asia not Australia too
Ever since the Covid19 lock down. My sibling, me and my dad have been practising different Polynesian dance including the meke And now my legs are shaking every night in bed.
keyboard warrior I know you commented a while back but I just got mad looks from a palagi couple in their car wondering why I was doing the Fijian meke at a traffic stop.

I don't understand anything . But I just feel the vibe . Fijians should incorporate African beats. This would be a serious hit .
