Island Vibes - Umu (Official Music Video)

'Umu' was written as an ode to our father figures. Its a story of how our fathers would bring traditions and our cultures from the islands to Aotearoa and creating a safe space for our people to learn and reminisce during the troubles and hard times they would face during events like the Dawnraids. Listen to 'Umu' on all music platforms, available now. https://precise.fm/umu VIDEO CREDIT: Director: Troy Tu'ua Producer & 1st AD: Joanna Mika Co-producer: 'Aisea Latu DOP: Ben Mikha 1st Cam-Assist: Jack Barry 2nd Cam-Assist: Xavier Garneau-Roughan Video Editor & Colour Grade: Sefa Taouma Wardrobe: Joanna Mika Wardrobe Assist: Petmal Lam Unit & Locations Operations: Petmal Lam, Joanna Mika, Leki Jackson-Bourke, Glen Jackson, ‘Aisea Latu Cast: Haanz Fa'avae-Jackson, Saale Ilaua, 'Aisea Latu, Albert Hekesi, Brad Ikinepule MUSIC CREDIT: Music Producer: BLK entertainment, Swiss, Ese Aumalesulu, Moni Aumalesulu, TEJIT records Written by: Haanz Fa’avae-Jackson, Saale Ilaua, Sefa Taouma, 'Aisea Latu Performed by: Lead Singers: Haanz Fa’avae-Jackson, Saale Ilaua, 'Aisea Latu Singers: Joanna Mika Lead and Rhythm Guitarist: Sefa Taouma Bass guitar: Kevin Savili Cello: Tim Shacklock Special thank you to Creative New Zealand, NZ on Air, Ministry of Arts, Culture & Heritage, Niue Film Commission, Glen Jackson and the Jackson family, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - Opaahi Chapel, Liolau Guesthouse, the Laufoli family, the village of Hakupu, James Mika, Mario Faumui, Chrissy Vaega and the people Niue.
