Im Māori and this dedication to our cousins from Samoa still makes me cry when you think of the devastation our cuzzies suffered

I was in Samoa during the measles outbreak and spent time at the hospital - it was heartbreaking seeing so many lives lost and the broken families - I remember coming back to NZ and seeing this on TV and I bawled my eyes out 😭it meant so much! the power, the lyrics, the aroha shown in this performance, was just so beautiful

As a Māori I was proud of this group for singing this. Samoans are our older brothers. Whanau

The woman leading the waiata (Song) she is part Maori, and part Samoan. She is a great example to both cultures. One Love to our poly cousins. I am from New Zealand

In translation to his speech in the beginning is in honour and a tribute to those whom we lost to the outbreak in Samoa and the part where they transition from Samoan to Maori is translating parts of the Samoan version also you were spot on about the meaning of the word MANA😊im pretty sure your one of us, tena koe brother ngā mihi nui

Fun fact I am Māori from Ngati kahungunu o Te Waka Takitimu and it is said that Takitimu canoe was built in Samoa!! And voyaged for Samoa to Aotearoa 🤙🏾 Abit of history on how close we are as Whanau. I believe we are all whanau (family) of Te Moana-Nui a kiwi ( Peolpe of the sea 😊👍🏾🤙🏾 chhheeeehuuu!!

its because we all connected thats why we can feel each others wairua thats why u gt goosebumps my bruv kia ora

Gotta love our Maori brothers and sisters 🥹❤️

Two cultures combined love it respect

I’m happy we done our extended Whanau proud 👍🏾✌🏾🤙🏾

This performance was also in acknowledgement to the Samoan Language week here as well

Your reaction when you realised it was a Samoan song 🙌🙌 shot brutha. Prefect 🙂

Hh, my TUvalu workmates thought I was fluent in Samoan because I sing Samoan songs. But I just learn them from Fresh of the boat songs. Note I’m Maori/ European. This group is always guaranteed a position in the top 6 of the competitions. Also they do have a Gym regime as well as singing practice. They need the fitness to perform.

Talofa awesome that this was watched by you felt the proud and whelmness you've projected like the other two Samoan ladies who watched this also they two had an experience and shed some tears their KZfaq reaction is awesome they go by life wyf caitb

I was really looking forward to your video, however it’s a shame that your Sounds are so messed up. You are really loud and dominating, while the vocals of the video is really low. I was struggling to hear this amazing singing. Very disappointed
