i wish i was there to see it in person and that one day they could come to our island and perform for us.. and show the other groups here the REAL samoa, lol =)

@kay7411 and what island is that?...lol..

[kay7411]

@merrallani -- SAIPAN; idk if u've heard of it but if you can find guam, you can find our island too. lol! it's so sad because we (better yet, MOST of us) want our culture (which is the chamorro & carolinian culture) to be showcased in our hotels & evrywhere possible (but mst especially to those who visit our islands) i mean, i don't mind the samoan culture being showcased here2 (I LOVE IT!) bt SERIOUSLY? wen u per4m a dance that is not of ur blood, WHO-R-U REALLY REPRESENTING? wat do u think?

[merrallani]

@kay7411 ....ur rite..i feel u on what ur saying..i do apologize abt not having videos for Saipan...these were all the videos i was recording for my husband...because he was gone at the moment..but wanted to see the recordings...sorry i couldnt help you on finding ur video....:)

Wish I was there to watch all the beautiful islands perform. My brother said it was really nice & so cultured! Love it when it's live music & sngs :) choohoo! Malo lava Malaeloa!!

[merrallani]

@tulimaitulimai thank you and thanx for watching...

It felt like this performance was only a couple of minutes, but it's actually five times that. Very engaging Perfomance! The biggest challenge wiith long dances like these is keeping people engaged throughout (and not bore them out), and Malaeloa slayed that Beast! Job WELL done, Malaeloa! Thee Best!
