Kiribati Kaimatoa Rawanawi Marakei

This was taken in 1991 from Marakei, Rawanawi Mwaneaba. I was there when I was 19 watching this. It still brings up a lot of emotions from the power of the music. I remember the far left dancer fainted at the end of the song. This is also my home village, I'm sure I'm related to at least two of these boys.
If your Kiribati and this music doesn't give you goosebumps. You need to remember. E korakora angin ara mwaie...

This is Rawanawi's maneaba but I would say that it was Tekarakan's turn to mwaie. I'm not sure who they are but I'd be intereted to know who, especially if they are related. Send me a message if you find out. Tiabo moa ao te karabwaraba ibukin am comment.
