POLY SONGBOOK: Vaniah Toloa - Tokelau Medley 

Greetings from just South of Seattle, Washington. I love this music. A Tokelauan man, a deck hand I worked with on a fishing boat in Nome, Alaska back in the 90's was playing the most beautiful music one night from the "slack shack", where the deck hands went to chill after their watch. I followed the music to where Kalapo was. He was kind enough to let me join him for a listen. And the next night, and the next... I couldn't get enough of it. When the time came to go home he gave me a cassette tape to take with me. I played that tape until it broke. So if anyone in the Tokelau islands ever sees Kalapo, please tell him hello from galley Gail. And I'm still loving this music.

I'm Samoan and half tokelaun, listing to this song makes me proud to be tokelaun.

2020 and with everything that’s going around this song makes me feel at ease

Make us proud tokelauns, listening to these beauk songs.

My mother named my son Tonuia her only brother. Then told me the story of who Tonuia the first settler of Atafu. I am humble to say that I am of his direct decendant.

Ko Tonu ia I falefitu Nonu ma alo I falefa Takoto kava i faleiva Ko palega o fenua Tokelau o Kaimoana kaimoana faiva e ifo ki tupua Kana kamata mai ki taua I na mulipapa e Ke tau kite takele moana e

My great grandma hails from Atafu Tokelau, her name is Lutiaipuavaaemapuifagalele Uale.

i wanna the language, sound so humble and beautiful. greeting from Slovakia
