A Fiafia in Tokelau


A “fiafia” is a Pacific islands fete, a joyful celebration full of song, dance, food and good cheer. Watch  Opetaia Foai and Te Vakafinally getting the international recognition they’ve long deserved after making music for “Moana” — start their “Ki Te La” with a traditional Tokelauean tune about fiafia reminding us how happy we can be. This week in All Around This World’s online class we share our version, in which we’re having such a great time at the party that we ignore the incoming wind.
