Thank you Mark from Canada for uploading this video! Mark came to Tuvalu on his trip as part of his Master program in local music where he went around Funafuti looking for local band who still play Ukelele & Guitar. He was advised by Tuvalu media to come to Punuaagogo Grog and and we met him that evening. Kavatia was the one doing the interview. Punuaagogo have released 3 Albums with songs from the island of Nanumea with some of Punuaagogo composed songs.. Alofa lahi atu!

Love, love Puniagogo and your songs! Thank you for the memories of my mum (RIP). I grew up with these songs, and our house in Auckland in the 70s, 80s was always full of Tuvaluan and Kiribati sailors, and many late nights listening to the adults singing these oldies. Fakafetai lasi mo te post tenei. alofa atu kite band Puniagogo mo pese gali. Love your cds.
