One of Queen Salote's famous lakalaka! I was priviledge to be part of this group who represented Tonga to the Pacific Music Festival in Melbourne 1983. Feel very spiritual listening to the music. Afo Koula led by Prof. Futa Helu, my mentor!!
Sāngone (Sāmoan sā = tribe, Fijian (n)gone = child), was the name of a turtle from divine origin and featuring in Tongan myths about the Tuʻi Tonga king named Tuʻitātui in the beginning of the 12th century AD. Part of the history features prominently in a famous lakalaka written by queen Sālote somewhere around 1940, when the shell, claimed to be the original one from Sāngone herself was transferred to the Tupou College museum.
Sangone navigated Samoans back home. Instead of letting the kings' turtle returned home toTonga as promised the Samoan killed it and ate it. According to the legend the king was furious when he heard of this. He said whoever know these phrase knows where Sangones' head was buried. "Keu kai mai ha ngulungulu mo tokoto. Keu kai mai ha loutaangia mo kokii. Keu kai mai ha kaupoo'ulia-'i-vao........" These are in the composition....
@@wildfiehoka1657 in the samoan legend the Tuiatua and warriors Sa'umani caught a huge turtle off savaii. The samoans killed the turtle and hid the shell. The village now where that turtle was killed is Matena and Sagone. They are connected. However I believe Sangone was Samoan. Especially given the name Sagone is samoan.
Tuitonga Momo built pulemelei mound around 800ad who lived in Samoa from the story uno o sangone! Sangone was a sacred turtle The Tuitonga send Sangone to navigate the Samoan back home to Samoa where Sangone named after a Village and how Pulemelei was built! Takalaua Fangaoneone Puipuifatu Havea 1 Havea 2 Kauulufonua Lomiaetupua as Talakaefaiki 1 Talakaefaiki 2 Tuipulotu Fatafehi Telea Tuitonga! Was that 400 years or more! Peace 👑♥️
There is no oral history or proof that TT momo built pulemelei though. Agree with Sangone being the turtle that brought Lekapai (le'apai) back to Samoa. They killed the turtle after and hid the shell. Almost the exact same story as the samoan legend of how Sagone village came in to being.
@@Mrkovana i agree with you, sagone ain't even near close to the pulemelei pyramid, and even the song doesn't mention about the pulemelei pyramid being built, but the only subject that the song is reffering to is about the story of the turtle, JM jm enough with your puhi facts

For all those asking if this song is linked to the village sagone in savaii Samoa, it is not, sagones previous name was sagolegole the village was named this when my ancestor stole his majesty Malietoa’s pet turtle and cooked it on the beach that we now call Sagone. :)
Don't hide the history! Tuitonga Momo built Pulemelei Siaheulupe around 800ad from the story of Uno o Sangone who lived in Haamoa also Tuitonga Loau Puipuifatu Fangaoneone Havea 1 Lomiaetupua as Talakaefaiki 1 Havea 1 Havea 2 Tuipulotu Fatafehi Telea Ulukimata and Talakaefaiki 3 beginning of Malietoa! Siaheulupe mounds and Langi stone mound pyramid were Evidence across Polynesia! Tuitonga Kauulufonua Fekai built Talietumu Fortress Uvea in 1100ad! Papa'IFA Tuifalefa Moengangongo Ietonga FaleTaonga Kava Ceremony etc were Tongan decented! Kohai Koau mo Momo or Maui Tangaloa and Pulotu Clans were the Highest Title! Tangaloa is no God! Oldest Tatau Instrument were found in the Ancient Fortress Village of Pea in Tongatapu Island 2700 years older than Roman Colosseum700BC! Nafanua is the harbor of Sacred Island of Maui Euaiki in Tongatapu Island Group! Peace 😇🙏
A'e. Malietoa has nothing to do with thks story. The samoan story goes that Sa'umani Afaese and a Tuiatua caught the huge turtle off the coast of savaii. They dragged it on land and it died there (hence the name of the village Matena) Tuiatua and Saumani said they wanted to share with their friend the Tuitoga. So they left and when they came back the samoan villagers had killed and cooked the turtle. And all that was left was burnt rubbish and burnt sand (hence sagolegole and sagonegone) and the Shell. The malietoa didn't even exist at this time.
Also to add on. This story is definitely connected to savaii Sagone and the sacred Sangone turtle of Tonga. In some legends of Tonga I read that Sangone was the mother of the Tuitonga. But you can feel free to correct me.
k o its about four turtles that wandered and the secret coconut that turned into huge giant men like beasts and learnt martial arts of the master kumā. Today they protect the streets from crime and the mastermind: Shredder.
On this song sangone is a pet turtle that belonged to the king of Tonga then Samoa stole it and killed it then Tonga killed the Samoan and took back the shell of the turtle according to my punake the song is about the turtle.the end
Kohai Koau mo Momo or Maui Tangaloa and Pulotu were 3 most powerful clans lived in Tongatapu Island but not God they served the Supreme Rulers Tuitonga ruled Polynesia! Siaheulupe and langis stone mounds were built scattered across Pacific! Tuitonga Momo built Pulemelei around 800ad from the story of Uno o Sangone! Tuitonga Loau Puipuifatu Fangaoneone Havea 1 Havea 2 Lomiaetupua as Talakaefaiki 1 Tuipulotu Fatafehi Telea Ulukimata Talakaefaiki 3 lived in Samoa! Peace ♥️👑
