THREE STAR NATION - TĀ MĒ - "SIPAIO"

The Three Star Nation project was created to pay homage to past composers from the Village of Fineone Hakupu-Atua in Niue. In this series, you will indulge in a serving of authentic Niue Song & Dance, promoting intergenerational learning and the preservation of Vagahau Niue through the Performing Arts.
This talented community ensemble is a make-up of Hakupu descendants from all parts of Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin & Niue. Music & Choreography by the Hakupu Youth NZ Creative Arts Team: Creative Director Leki Jackson-Bourke, Assistant Director Haanz Fa’avae-Jackson, Joanna Mika-Toloa, Petmal Petelo Lam, Candy Tusini-Rex, Mone Lakatani, Melissa Jackson Ravai, Mara Tohilima, Monet Ikinepule Etuata & Topui Talagi Ikiua.
This is a Tā Mē / action song written and composed by Salekiu Tusini in 1981.
The Tā Mē is usually performed by male and female performers and actions are generally choreographed to match the words of the song. This Tā Mē is a song of bliss and celebration: Sipaio - a joyful shout

Thank you for this. One of my favorite Niuean songs 💞

[@heivatupago9550]

This as been an all time favorite song of mine from when I 1st heard it to the day we performed for our Niuean group Tangaroa College. Igi was an inspiring tutor and taught our NZ Niuean's at the time of our songs and love for our culture. To see this song performed at so many functions and sung at family occasions here in and in so many different countries is true to its form. (So honored and proud to have performed this song and represent Tangaroa College at the time..)
