Vocal FX - Lo Ta Nu'u

[@wutdafeezy]

I wish everyone could’ve heard my school sing this every assembly. Hundreds of voices harmonizing as if it had been practiced for ages. Go to a Samoan function anywhere in the world with Samoans you’ve never met..., start this off and everyone will know it and sing it together as if they’ve done it a million times before(:

[@monamatautia1703]

Omg

[@Wooptywoop4208]

NZ? We always started school singing and PE together before classes.

[@sicboi]

That last lyric gets me in the feels all the time Lou n'u I le vasa A tiny little speck in the vast ocean is what we are but we're so proud of it

[@Me-nt6ww]

[@MrBossTube]

I can’t stop listening to this song. They express such love and passion for their beloved homeland. Aloha from Maui.
