Tongan Love Song - TA'AHINE KUOTE VALE KITA HO FO'I SINO- Loni Fonua DL5 Band.flv

A FAMILY'S BAND IN LAS VEGAS:

DL5 existed since the 70's in which we called it the FRIENDLY ISLANDERS and it was a family's band playing in clubs, dance halls and other occasions in the Island of Tonga, South Pacific. But now a new generation of the FONUAS is taking the music to a higher level than the Old-Skool stuffs of the the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's that we used to play, and they are very successful in doing so.

DL5 shows why they are one of the most exciting up and coming bands. Seamlessly fusing an array of musical genres into one cohesive sound, this band truly has something for everyone. Their eclectic sound has been a collection of some 20+ years as musicians playing all kinds of music, with their musicianship it wasn't hard for them to change from playing Cover music to writing and producing their own songs, with in 10 months they have written and recorded 60 songs 15 more songs are lined up on their menu, they work together as a band from writing to recording instrument tracks.

Their music is a mosaic collection of songs that embraces a variety of styles and emotions. There are catchy soulful melodies, tender love songs, soulful boasting from all the music they write. "Giv it all up" with 18 original songs on it, Every song is touched with meaningful words and rich musicianship. The overall variety of this Album shows the depth of the band as well as the talent to have the ability to make it all work together so well in just one year this band means business.DL5 was formed in early 2004, but the history of the band has been over 20 years in the making. In the late 70's, DL5 began regularly playing the hotels, bars, night club in the south pacific. now they are getting ready to tour to support their "Giv it all up" cd. you can preview any song they have written at DL5's website !
