This is the true essence of the siva samoa or mauluulu... it should tell the story of the lives of our people, our customs and our traditions. Thank you for sharing this footage.
These videos are some of the last examples of how our ancestors lived. Thank you for these videos because although these are the last examples, it's better this than nothing 🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸
Talofa I tagata Samoa.Original . Something I witnessed during my visit during 1970s and late 1980s ,amazing .Hard work Thanks to my grandparents that I got to see this special place
I used to know it of by heart but that was back in the late 70s lo a little older now and have forgotten all the lyrics, but thanks to video's like this I can re-learn these wonderful song's again.
It was so beautiful in the olden days looking/watching a dance group, only a sogaimiti or a malu we can see on some of the men's and women's bodies, and that was neat and clean but at nowadays,.. ohhhh!!!! too much ink.
Thank you for posting this, and for the explanation of the performance🤗I wonder where all these performers are now and if they have seen themselves on here

Thanks for the lyrics!! This was really helpful. Couldn't even piece together the lyrics until I found these. Thanks again.🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸
The uniforms are different to nowadays and also nowadays men don't do the mauluulu why is that. I was recently watching a video of the men and women doing it but now only girls do it. And also they don't do the traditional ailao
I guess with all the outside influence of change and perceptions, much of our traditional performing arts have somewhat diminished. Perfect example would be the mauluulu in how the actions of both men and women are supposed to be the same yet nowadays many believe that for a man to be graceful and whatnot is considered "unmanly" or not "masculine" enough - which is why the add a lot of the faataupati actions to the dance (and most of the time they look like idiots).
In regards to the traditional ailao, I guess people are more entertained and thrilled to watch the new ailao afi now as it is more "appealing" to them, but which is really sad because then we lose out on another traditional treasure of our culture
Btw, when there are traditional Samoan faafiafiaga competitions back home, many schools and villages dress up like the teachers in the video I.e. using the titi fau and that :-)
+D Misa THANK YOU! The traditional ailao far exceeds the contemporary siva afi anyday IMO. It's saddening that one of our many cultural art forms has been reduced to a globally monetized exhibition of baton twirling set aflame. Shame...
+D Misa you explained everything so beautifully and clearly and yes it is sad that some traditions have been lost I wish they would go back to the traditions
Samoan dances today are all done m,ostly to CDs playing. Gone are the days when people sang and expressed the harmonies. Thank you for sharing this!

Hi my beautiful brother ANESI Fiu from Vailoa Palauli Savaii, Talofa lava
It was so beautiful in the olden days looking/watching a dance group, only a sogaimiti or a malu we can see on some of the men's and women's bodies, and that was neat and clean but at nowadays,.. ohhhh!!!! too much ink.
Thank you for posting this, and for the explanation of the performance🤗I wonder where all these performers are now and if they have seen themselves on here
