@unzenzile - Actually Te Vaka are from different Islands of Polynesia : Western Samoa , Tokelau and Tuavalu . Te Vaka was founded by Opetaia Foa'i ( Samoan born Tokelau/Tuvaluan ) in Auckland , New Zealand in 1995 . These guys travel the world and popular . This song they sining in the Tokelau language .

[MizzLeiLei1]

ok if you guys actually took the time to look them up on the internet instead of just making assumptions based on the way they look and sound... you'll find that they are originally tokelauans with the main singer and his brothers actually originally coming from samoa and some of the other individuals of the group from other polynesian islands... unfortunatley for some of you tho no tahitians and no tongans lol

[pacificbeautii]

Is this song in Tongan / Samoan or Tokelauan? they look Tongan ..

[olivesarethebest]

YAY I remember hearing this and other of their songs on the radio and everywhere in Fiji, and they are so amazing!

[akesacama]

i agree i mean when i went there for the summer holy cow my friend would talk about them

[olivesarethebest]

while I was waiting for my flight in the Fiji airport I met two sisters who had been visiting Tonga, and when we heard a Te Vaka song on the radio we got all sad and were bummed that they dont play stuff like that in the U.S.

[OliheneHapa]

It's not Tongan,Tahitian, or Samoan it's Tokelauan which is why it sounds Samoan.

[drunkencoconut2007]

yea they are tahitian! i meant to write tahitian but i dont know where tokelauan came from lol...my bad

[oldblack15]

Te Vaka is a unique group of twelve musicians and dancers from

Tokelau, Tuvalu, Samoa, Cook Islands, and New Zealand bought

together under the inspired leadership of Opetaia Foai, "one of

New Zealands finest song writers".

[msofficer]

its tahitian

[Wetzyl2007]

It's Tokelauan

[tongangirl4eva]

is this song samoan? cause im part tongan part samoan and it kinda sounds samoan im not sure though

[tongangirl4eva]

oh lol my bad thanks!

[animedork101]

Its a mixture of Tokelauan, Tuvalu, Samoan, and other Oceanic (Polynesian, Micronesian, Melanesian) groups. Basically, their music is Oceanic based. To say they are one group and not the other is an insult to their music.

[sweetberrysurprise]

Awesome! Used to dance to this song.

[benthug123]

[olisenesapa]

It's actually Tokelauan. Though Tokelauan and Samoan are the closest polynesian languages. Oh and the person below me you must of got your ass by a Samoan that's why you said that. Hahaha
