🇳🇺 NIUE PATRIOTIC SONG - NIU SILANI MO NIUE NEI 🇳🇺

🇳🇺NIU SILANI MO NIUE NEI🇳🇺 (Composed by Ikinepule Etuata) A well known lologo (song) that was originally performed by the Matakau Tufuga Fakamotu - A talented group of composers, choreographers and performers that travelled to New Zealand in 1976 for the 2nd South Pacific Festival of Arts. This lologo refers to Niue and New Zealand’s relationship, which in 1976 was only 2 years after the Niue people had voted via referendum in 1974 to become a self governing nation in free association with New Zealand. This lologo is often sung at celebratory events including pulefakamotu, reunions, birthdays or in performances at Polyfest. This video is part of an inter-generational project that aims to promote interaction in Vagahau Niue between our matua and our fuata. We hope you enjoy this version by Niue Youth Network (Okalana) and some of our Auckland-based Niue Community Groups. Fakaaue lahi to all involved, especially our Matuas who absolutely enjoyed themselves during this shoot! Also to our funders from the Ministry Of Education. Oue Tulou.
