[DoggyStain]

I believe most of the polynesian cultures throw money out to their dancers.

idk im not exactly sure but i only see money being thrown at samoans when the women are dance.

Cheeeeeeehoooooooooooooo

I find it special with the taualugas, don't know why.

[castleridge]

I understand how the money is showered from everywhere. I would hastily spot a twenty dollar bill as well, just so she wouldn't start taking her clothes off.

[jrnshel]

What's the name of the song?

[ScarlettVain]

I love this song; we listen to it in the car all the time =) This is a gorgeous, gracefully-danced Taualuga.. beautiful job!

[0608tatavera]

hey is this vale?!!!

[mixedpapii]

To add on to ciakopo's comment, In Hawaiian Kaua means war, and luna means above or "higher place". So Kaua+luna= Kaualuna or Taualuga =]...Cultural similarities.

[joybliss09]

very interesting comment about war in a higher place...ive never heard that before..taualuga refers to the highest point in the roof of a samoan fale...therefore in context of performance celebration...taualuga becomes the highest most important point in any samoan festivities...also connoting the end or completion of celebration..as a samoan fale is only complete wen the roof is completed

[mixedpapii]

Eh whtz the first song that played! fakafetai!

[maasoama]
