🌺 Rotuma Classics & Kunau Vibes Original – Volume 9 "Released 26 May 2026"

🌺 Rotuma Classics & Kunau Vibes Original – Volume 9 Released 26 May 2026 Rotuma Classics & Kunau Vibes Original – Volume 9 continues a deeply personal musical journey of preserving, honouring, and sharing the stories, language, spirit, and timeless musical identity of Rotuma through song. This collection brings together cherished Rotuman classics alongside original work in the Kunau Vibes style — blending heartfelt vocals, expressive acoustic and electric guitar, island rhythm, melodic storytelling, and warm modern production while always respecting the soul of the original music. At the heart of this volume is family, memory, culture, and legacy. This release is lovingly dedicated to the memory of my late father, Mareko Fasipi Kunau, whose love for music, wisdom, sacrifice, and devotion to family continue to guide and inspire my journey. His presence lives through every lyric, every melody, and every note carried throughout this project. Volume 9 is also dedicated with love to my children, Maria and Raymond Kunau, so that the language, traditions, identity, and musical spirit of Rotuma continue to live on through the next generation. They remain the heart behind this series and the reason these songs continue to be shared. Each track has been carefully reworked, re-recorded, newly arranged, and remastered for this 2026 release — bringing timeless songs into today’s generation while preserving their cultural warmth, emotional depth, and island spirit.
