Aitutaki - Vaipae Backyard Blues

Maqua and the Vaipae WANTED boys....1 Take performance

[@jacksonlanders]

This recording made me fall in love with the music of the Cook Islands. I have ripped it to an mp3 and I listen to it while I drive in my car in the US. This song made me love your music. I looked for it in proper recordings, but it seems like the real thing is only found in parties and recitals. So I listen to recordings on KZbin of people playing music in backyards, or at schools. The music that you play for yourselves is beautiful and I would like to travel to the Cook Islands just to hear you play it. Some day, I will.

[@sarahrakoia8634]

Lol the man with the spoons is the MAN!!! Those are some skills man!!

[@ngerekuru5420]

No need for a recording studio. In fact no need for matching outfits or makeup. Just natural Kuki style. Just a few drinks and then the magic begins. Lovn it from WA Oz.
