For those wondering, it’s not a Tahitian song, it’s a Tuamotuan song French Polynesia has 6 different Polynesian languages and cultures including Tahitian, Tuamotuan, Marquesan, Mangareva, Tuha’a Pae and Oparoan (Rapa Iti).

Walking across the sea, coming out of the sea, is a perfect way to show how the Polynesian woman started hula. So beautiful. So special. So graceful. Such asset to this world music, art, and dancing. Thank you. Thank you for your passion and love.
My mother used to dance to this womderful song when I was young and this😢😢😢 is the best version of it so far❤ thank you Josf Tatofi for bringing back such a precious memory🤗😍
Oh my gosh Josh , so beautiful i cant believe how beautiful you sung Tahitian song and your beautiful music , you on the top of the world brother thanku so much ,
Love this version as well. Was brought up with the original and I'm hooked with this mix. My fellow Pacifica queens are as elegant and graceful and the warm Pacific tides💛 Much love from FJ 🇫🇯
No clue what's being said. I'm just a puerto rican here for the good music. ❤ I listen to several artist from the islands but they are English speaking in most of their songs. I'll take any recommendations similar to this.😊
This style of dancing movement is absolutely the most beautiful! It's smooth, feminine, graceful, expressive, beautiful and a gift to all who watch it. Very special indeed. Equally the smooth, continuous music with angelic singing frames the show of movement in pure harmony as if it were one. 🌺 🌼 🌸 Simply BEAUTIFUL and breath taking! May God bless you all - - - - as you add to the Beauty He gave us! Thank you. with love from: ♥️ 🙏🏼 Godsgal MN < (Minnesota) 🥰 💞

@@user-ub8uc8gq7r why you gotta be like that? she said it makes her miss hawaii...she said nothing about tahiti...only you did...a tahitian song can remind her of hawaii and a hawaiian song can remind me of tahiti we know its a tahitian song...and a tongan is singing it...and he's born and raised in hawaii... tahiti and hawaii and tonga have alot to do with each other...we are one people ...have the same ancestors are cousins, one family....still think this tahitian song has nothing to do with hawaii? aloha aroha alofa 'ofa...nothing to do with each other? one love
I'm kanaka maoli of Maui, and love Josh's vocals and smooth music🎉❤❤. Live in Vegas now and listen to Josh for some time now... love you Josh Tatofi forever 💖🎉❤❤.

Thats normal for polynesian/pacific islands music 😂 we dont know each others language but its phonetically similar
“Ku’u Leo Aloha,” “Lei Hala,” “Pua Kiele,” “Wena,” “Melia” “Ouana,” all sung by Josh. Beautiful hula dancing too.
ITS ONE OF OUR POLYNESIAN DIALECTS, ITS IN TAHITIAN. ITS PART OF OUR POLYNESIAN CULTURE BACK HERE IN HAWAII,ALL OF US POLYNESIANS ARE CONNECTED.
