@halfcookiehalfniue Kia Orana koe I'd love to be your friend and give you a pearl otherwise you can marry a handsome Manihikian and have all the pearls you want by owning your own farm pearl?

@halfcookiehalfniue Kia orana if you are half Aitutakian / half Nuiean and if on your Nuiean side you are part of the Tafatu family from Alofi and can trace your ancestry to Maleko Taniela Tafatu and you are a decendent of this man then your Manihikian too cos he married a Manihikian and lived there.

Aue Manihiki e..I miss home so much... these clips bring back so many memories!

The song Manihiki is a very old composition and I was only 10 years old when I learnt to sing it in Tukao. I honestly believe the composer of the song is the well know Ben Ellis...I hope this clariifys the above!

@Phenom713 Kia Orana koe e Ine, Yes it is a very lovely song I'm not sure who composed this song but it is sung by the Kaima Experience from Manihiki

pnvpable 1 year ago

@Phenom713 Song composed by Freddy Kaina. Sung by his group, Te Rosario (Lead by the Kaimar Experience-Uncle Freddy, Uncle Takaio Ripata, Uncle Henry Kaina, Aunty Regina Atatoa and Aunty Vaniva Borrell) Te Rosario, Grandchildren of Kaimar.

Kai=Papa KAINA Ripata.

Mar=Mama MARII Ripata.

This song was going to be released as Te Rosario vol2 but songs on the album were copied and spread out. It was a shame that it didn't get released, as it had a gold mine of pure Manihiki songs.

I hope this helped.
