Te Vaka
Profile
- About Me:
- Te Vaka's music is inspired by the Pacific Islands, particularly the groups that comprise Tokelau, Tuvalu and Samoa, the family home of band leader Opetaia. The islands of Tokelau, Tuvalu and Samoa were major influences on Opetaia's upbringing and his songwriting. He was raised in Samoa until the age of nine when his whole family emigrated to New Zealand.
The Tokelauan community there continues to provide musical inspiration -- every gathering is an opportunity for people to sing and dance, and this mood is sustained in the evocative spirit of the band. The inclusion of band members from many Islands in the South Pacific adds flavours from all over Polynesia to the music and dance of Te Vaka.
