This programme chronicles the celebrations surrounding the 85th birthday of King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV of the Kingdom of Tonga. The traditional forms of song and dance (lakalaka & ma'ulu'ulu) were on display from all corners of the kingdom in elaborate performances never seen before by western scholars and media. Enjoy the ceremony and the pomp of a remarkable Polynesian kingdom as they celebrate what was to be the last grand celebration for the monarch. I produced this film in conjunction with Dr. Eric B. Shumway and Dr. Vernice Wineera from the Pacific Institute at BYU-Hawaii.

As a Samoan, I'm so proud of our Polynesian heritage, our Tongan connection and rich traditions. Malo lava, beautiful Tonga.

@lainevakaolabloomfield2491 7 лет назад

I rememeber that Lakalaka from Vava'u i was a little girl that time my mum n grandma went to the practice every afternoon. I see some faces that they are already gone by now including the taofi vahenga my Late Uncle Potauaine Tu'iniua. Just a great memory i was a little girl but i remembered alot from that time. 'Oku ou polepole 'aki 'eku Tonga. GOD N TONGA ARE MY INHERITANCE.

Talofa lava. I really enjoy how the Tongans dance with pride in their culture and heritage. I work with many Tongans in Auckland and admire their serene and loving nature. God Bless!

This sounds like Zulu singing. We also call ourselves Tonga or Ludvonga or Dzonga or Tsonga. We are also singers and dancers. Our Zulu King lives in a place called Nongoma which means place of the singers or songs. Goma = Song, singing or drum.

I thoroughly enjoyed this wealth of entertainment learned Togan's music and such rich culture. I am Samoan and my mom together with The Samoan Women's Committee visited Tonga (maybe late 60's) and had the pleasure to meeting Her Honor Queen Salote. I have always interested in Tonga and that one day would love to go visit. Thanks again for posting/sharing with us all! It's a prayer really! The singing and dancing in such a way that everyone is praying whether you are rich or poor great or small!

The King had such a kind face, I feel His spirit .. I would love to come to Tonga !! The people are so gracious !!

Learning our culture enables us to understand our identity of who we are and where we are from. Without the past, there is no present and because of the present then we look forward for a better future. Thanks for all the good hard work from the beginning of composing, singing practice and performing etc. And end up in the screen for everyone.

I have watched this video thousands of time, And I always return to it because its sensitive, its honest and beautiful. Thankyou to the owners.Lui.

@aganese4030 4 года назад

I love watching the men performance It's so beautiful, may be because they are active and lively in how they perform the actual lakalaka, it look so easy but in fact it's not, but they are so skillful in their performance,

These Dvd's are available by writing to Byu-Hawaii Pacific Institute, att. Jane Toluono, BYU-Hawaii, Laie, HI, 96762 i am glad you enjoyed these exceptional films. They demonstrate an ancient and noble culture that is strong and resilient even today. If you have any difficulty I can obtain copies for you. Gary B. Smith

@garybsmith1 13 лет назад

Unfortunately all of the performance video is archived at BYU in their Archive department. The only dances that have been shown publicly are those I highlighted in my film. I hope you enjoy seeing these rare performances!

@sfvfv97 6 лет назад

What a wonderful and very informative video of our Tongan dance culture early beginnings and additions through the years and all it's meanings. I will definitely show this video to my mom unless she's seen it already. Love it, thank you for posting this.

@Kylieleon 6 лет назад

Thanks for this video. I had tears in my eyes throughout the film. I love how people love what they do and do their dances with their heart and soul. God Bless Tonga!

@garybsmith1 13 лет назад

Talofa uso Mike… faafetai tele sole for your kind words on my film… re Tu‘i Kanokupolu, all of the performance footage related to that royal line is held in the archives at BYU - the only released footage is what I have elected for this documentary. My other films Kava Kuo Heka and Tuku Fonua have historical information related to Tu‘i however. I am always intrigued by the royal lines of Tonga and their inter-relationship with the royal lines in Samoa and Fiji. Alofas uso, Gary.

@bobbyc.1111 7 лет назад

beautiful, i hope the princess had kids to keep the line going. Of course i guess it would go to cousins next like other royalty goes. So glad they made this. Thanks for posting

Absolutely, the only beautiful Princess of King Taufa'hau 1111 and Queen Halaevalu Mata'aho Tuku'aho and grand daughter of 'Eiki lahi Tungi Mailefihi of Tatakamotonga. Tatakamotonga Lakalaka is the best, the mystic my beloved heritage of Mu'a. Vaikona Malukava Kavaefiafi is also the best punake. Mālie pea fakamāfana 'a e musū.

+Sela Wolfgramm, Tongan Professor Mahina in his research for his doctorate found when he asked people in Futuna and 'Uvea about the Tu'i Tonga imperial rule, "Futunans emphatically said that Futuna was never fakalongo ki Tonga, the 'Uveans were extremely proud of the fact 'Uvea was fakalongo ki Tonga".
