Kapena - Tukake Mai (HiSessions.com Acoustic Live!) 

Yes many Tongan have grandfathers and grandmothers from Fiji 🇫🇯🇹🇴🤝🏾

Haha yessssir

Brah I grew up listening to all these songs at Waiahole elementary. I always thought this was a Tongan song.

Samoan

Proud Fijian..well done boys I love the cover..it's 🔥🔥🔥

Fijian hits

Me G 😂❤

+trey lazer Oh good, they did Ofaloto which is Tongan, and then when I heard this and Masese I thought I was loosing my mind or something because it didn't sound like Tongan.

It's Fijian but some of the words a mispronounced

Don’t need to understand God’s spirit working via music, but you’ll definitely feel it. I’m in the same boat too 🤣🕺💃 Wish the whole world could be in the same boat too 🙏🕊️

SJ Moore - It would probably be a rights nightmare, but I wish HiSessions would release a “Best of ...” on iTunes. I’d buy the s* out of that.

dexter 69 cheeeeeeewhooooo

Right back at you my polynesian bradda 🤙🏼cheeeeehuuuu

Wow boys. Bulala

I thought they were Samoan or tongan

Iuogafa Malaki i think the singers might be not to sure but the song is a fijian classic, and i think they have their own rendition of the song to

Very similar to Tongan. We would say Tu’u Hake Mai

Welcome brother

Mosese Naleba - These guys have been playing this song for 30+ years. They probably attributed the original songwriters on their albums from way back when. Thank you for posting that info here. Maybe HiSessions will add it to their video notes.

ligairi Vinaka for your reply, the issue is how they are compensating the songwriters, because I see these songs on iTunes being sold, and I see no reference to the songwriters or where the song originated from.

I don't know but they did tour and record songs with sakiusa so I'm sure they did

Sakiusa bulicokocoko R. I.P. vinaka vakalevu na vakalasasa.

@@mosesetuberi2092 Thank you Mosese for raising the issue on the owner of the work who worked hard in creating / composing the song, BUT, whether we are getting anything out of it when our song is sung and recorded by other Groups, especially overseas Groups ? > Not at all.....As the Copyright Owner of the song, Kapena should have the courtesy of seeking my consent and maybe an Agreement be made between the two Parties on some payments for its usage before recording the song. Kapena recorded and playing the song for over 30 years to date, and a clear infringement of copyright works. I composed "Tucake Mai" in 1986, and being the Copyright Owner of the song, it was registered with the Australasian Performing Rights Association APRA, then, before it was transferred to the Fiji Performing Rights Association (FPRA) when it was formed and began its operations from 1993. > On the issue that its been sold on iTunes.....its an infringement of copyright works, if Kapena is selling it there and getting the money, its a clear illegal practice.....its daylight robbery..!!...Thank you again Mosese for your comments and concern on this matter.... I'll see what I can do. Vinaka.
