Kapena kapena kapena! My dad said he helped you set up the stage on maui in the 80s. But its not just for that reason you've always been the best to me. Mahalo for years of the best music

This is one of the background song when my family went to Hawaii for the first time. I opened Google search, tapped the search for a song, then this appeared, and I clicked screenshot button. I don't have to lose this music again.

Fijian Classic song originally sung and composed by the late Sakiusa Bulicokocoko in the late 1970's. Vinaka Kapena for the Cover

[@fijihighlander395]

Vinaka Kapena for singing this wonderful song 'Masese'!...Kind regards to you all from me here in the highlands of Fiji!

[@samwright5653]

welcome from hawaii

[@Nirvezz]

Island 98.5 💕thanks for playing this song. Love it. Pain in the ass to find what it was. They never had it on their song list online when played on radio

[@aizenreeve9435]

I’VE FINALLY FOUND THIS SOOOOONG!!! This song was so popular here in the Philippines in the late 90’s and 2000s. And I was born in 1998. And I’ve always hear this during my childhood and every time my parents had a gig. And back in 2017, I asked my friends if they have heard this song. And to my surprise nobody did. So I searched it for the title but to no luck. AFTER 3 YEARS!! Hahahahah I felt goosebumps as soon as I heard the intro. Lmao

[@C.Dat.guyoverthere]

Same thing happened to me. I listened to this back in the 90s in Guam. This song randomly popped into my head over the last couple of weeks but I didn't know the band or lyrics. All I remembered was the intro. Luckily I vaguely remembered "ma se se" and typed it into Google. Didn't realize that was the title, but I'm glad i finally found it!

[@christopherreilly5339]

Pretty popular in Hawaii at the same time. Funny thing, still popular in Vegas in the right neighborhoods in 2020, cause you know, island music sounds mo betta every where.

[@whiterunjarl625]

@@C.Dat.guyoverthere I lived in Guam in the late 90s and always loved this song. I may not have lived there in 20 years but it always will have my heart with this song.

[@sulinnaipa2146]

So cool to hear about how popular this song was.in different areas.

[@taledivibes]

This is a Fijian song. It was originally released by the late Sakiusa Bulicokocoko in the late 1970's

[@tonyrosales915]

To this day, my favorite Kapena song, love this tune so much..

[@thereafterish]

Oh. God. Best show ever. This live version gives us such a great up close look at the insane skill all of these musicians have. So sad this is the end of their original lineup. Thank you for filming this!!

[@vancemo]

+thereafterish You ain't seen nothin yet! Hope you've got your ticket ready for what's being released tomorrow...

[@jackalbark7593]

This is not original,,,original of this song is sang by saimoni vuatalevu,,from fiji,,,this group copy most of the already existing songs and they put classic tempo to spice up songs,,,,but their music is good and hope they keep up The good work they ve been doing to old songs,, in putting more classic tempo to them.

[@rayage777]

Fun Fact: I use to see Kelli Boy at the Kaneohe Spa in the 90s. He would sing in the sauna and steam room. Never heard him sing Kapena songs, but it was a great distraction from the heat. Good times.
