This is the reason why I love Vaniah's music. He uses a lot of Samoan ancient proverbial expressions (Chief oratory language) in his music. Very rare and unique. As a Samoan who now lives in the US, I miss listening to these proverbial expressions and the Chiefs using it in traditional occasions. 😢

[@tamasamoa6079]

It's Inspiring, Wisdom and good for the soul.

[@SportZFan4Ever]

This song is about fishing. "Tuli atu" translates to Tuna Chasing. It's a right of passage for Samoan boys/youth to learn this skill (catching tuna) in order to be Skilled fishermen that can provide for the family and the village community. Vaniah is singing about how the chase is done, and that it's just one part of being SAMOAN Man.

[@isaialeuila9327]

The top Samoan/Tokelauan artist. He doesn't copy anyone nor does he try to fit in with others music. He makes unique and distinct sounds that when you hear his voice, you know its his music! Malo le fai o le faiva, Malie.

[@hectormunroramos7962]

Love from mexico!! I have been dancing ori, hula and siva afi for years now and i can say samoan culture is the one that brings me the most joy and fills my spirit. Absolutley love this song! 🙌🏼

I’m Tongan and this makes me teary. I’m a huge fan of the old Samoan songs for years. This has an ancient tone which seem relatable even though I have no idea what it’s saying as I’m learning the lyrics. Love it so much! His songs are always lit! ❤️🙏🏾✨
