How To: Siva Tau with Mr Lavalava Vito Mcdenda

[@nielsb.rasmussen2346]

Im half samoan and half danish. I was borned and raised in Denmark, I feel like im loosing the samoan part, i mean im proud to be half Dane but the samoan side is the strongest. But i can't speak the language, so i will learn Siva Tau with honor and to get more connected to my ancestors. Peace

[@raytaito3812]

Aye uce, that blood is Golden. Wherever you go, no matter where you are in the world, if Samoans meet, it’s automatic love. No matter what other blood you have in you, that Samoan blood binds is together.

[@karenibrown6857]

@@raytaito3812 well said USO. I'm proud to be Samoa.

[@sym_1293]

If you ever get the chance you should visit the motherland of Samoa. It will change you forever.

[@thebiguce7131]

I am also Half Samoan and Half African and I have the same problem as you. I’m losing out on my Samoan side, I want to honor both in whatever I do in life so I will learn the Siva Tau and force my dad to teach me Samoan🤣

This KZbin has taught my 19 boys how to do the Siva Tau in preparation for their May Day Ho'ike Performance honoring the MANU SAMOA Rugby Team. They are really appreciative and formed a bond with their instructor, whom they call, Mr. Veto. Fa'afetai Tele Lava for these tutorials that help instill our culture for everyone to represent... Le MANU!!!

The only rugby team in the Pacific that does not have a war dance are the Papua new guinea Rugby team. We have a totally diverse culture from the highlands to the islands and that's why it's difficult to actually perform a war dance based on one type of culture. But I guarantee you, there are some war dances we have that will instill fear from the get go. It's just terror to watch and experience. However, our ancestors when going into a battle never showed up on the battle field singing and dancing because that would automatically alert the opponent to strike first. They came in at stilt mode, silent, illusive and gruesome...So happy to be a pacifican, seeing war dances done by our other Pacific nations shows the pacifican identity, dignity and culture we all originated from.

Very well explained! Malo Vito!

[@ConradW]

When I came to Samoa, the immigration officer looked at my Samoan passport and looked at me (white English) and said "this is a good passport!" I said "Manu Samoa!" One day I'll go back and stay. Fa Samoa!

[@iammeechie2009]

the uso this dance

[@wowaweewa3181]

Brilliant!

[@auxuniguy]

Manu Samoa was a warrior from Sapunaoa Falealili. Manu Samoa Isamaeli is named after the warrior, but was not by any means linked by family or by blood to Manu Samoa at all. This needs to be updated in the dialogue for the clip above.

[@mariogiovandro4025]

Wow thats cool hi from Indonesia!

[@nielsb.rasmussen2346]

Sing along Le Manu Samoa e, ia manú le fai o le faiva Le Manu Samoa e, ia manú le fai o le faiva Le Manu Samoa lenei ua ou sau Leai se isi Manu o le atulaulau Ua ou sau nei ma le mea atoa Ma lo'u malosi ua atoatoa Ia e faatafa ma e sósó ese Leaga o lenei Manu e uiga ese Le Manu Samoa!

[@TheNarutopower15]

Yeah but their own version

[@4evabosslady1]

no this dance was made far before the uso's did it it comes from the culture of the Samoans

[@JuliaGraves1225]

Where was this video when I needed to learn Siva Tau?

[@MrJoegib]

Julia Graves.. It was on youtube since May 4 2014

[@grace_2077]

Bro no offense but I literally felt threatened and I was on the other side of the screen. Good job!!!!

[@fereti9216]

Go Manu

[@isamaelitilialo3390]

who is the warrior manu samoa isamaeli?

[@SamoanT1000]

"Isamaeli" is not even a true Samoan name; it's actually a biblical name of Semetic/Hebrew origin. Manu Samoa had been dead for generations before the name Ishmael (Isamaeli) made its way to he islands through Western missionaries. So, you see, this is false history.

[@isamaelitilialo3390]

i'm named after the one in the bible.. just thought i could add another cool samoan twist. maybe not. lol.

[@WubKub]

O ai foi le suafa a si tamale la. I still call him his actors name Tavita 😄😄

[@ak2daWRLD]

[@zaynvarenshutain]

I wish i could learn this, but i think i'm to white for this. It feels disrespectful to the samoan people if i would try this. xD

[@faataatiatupuolajr8799]

Zayn Varenshutain Take a trip to SAMOA. Then it won't feel disrespectful. who knows, you might find a wife

[@isaiahlam9276]

Dont learn their stupid siva tau learn the tongan mate tonga

[@isaiahlam9276]

Hey samoa is full of faafafine half man n half woman i call them 50/50

[@k.s.104]

I’m Samoan and I don’t see it as disrespectful, doing it because you like it and you find it fascinating is acknowledging the culture bro, unless you tryna make a mockery of it or do it as a joke then that ain’t right, this goes for all people whether they’re white or black, Asian..

[@dizinable]

It's more of a spirit thing

[@bobtiko5629]

This dance was choreographed in late 80s.. its nothing traditional about it. You should do your research and talk to the people that came up with it.
