Tatai Whakapapa e

[@Dtroiit]

I remember back in school days, me and my boys wanted to go to Polyfest but having the strict island parents we were obviously not allowed to go on the Friday (school day) and we couldn’t go without the teachers informing our parents about our absence 😂🤦🏽‍♂️ so we ended up joining the kapa haka group (coz thats the only group our school had) we were the only Tongans and Samoans in the group and our ONLY reason why we joined was to go to Polyfest LOL but after singing songs like this and really getting to know the Maori culture... we ended up loving Kapa Haka haha memories on memories that I will alway cherish ❤️.
