We from PNG love this song 🔥 Love from Taikone (Crybeach), Papua New Guinea 🫶🏼

[@uriarau]

I am a cook islander myself..I just want to clarify to those who are trying to understand the lyrics of this song.. There are 15 islands in the cook islands and each have their own dialects..And this band is out standing and are local artists...They are not trained singers and thats why they shine... The dialects of the song really enhanced beautifully and the vocal is raw & blends well with the lyrics and you couldnt help wiggling yourself..Im not sure how many times I watched this..This is how origional cook island songs became a song.. I was born in the 50s and grew up with the old people who do the same as this band..My brother is a well known lead guitarist in the cook islands and NZ ..Hes got great respect to any local artist who stays original which makes them unique..Im not sure which Island they came from .... Sumalinga or humalia means beautiful""" Im sure King Charles will wiggle to this song.. I hope hes watching this
