Samoan opera song wows at Westminster Abbey!

"I felt very proud to represent #Samoa. Being able to see all the other nations of the #Commonwealth was just an awesome experience."
With hearts filled with pride, Opera singers Isabella Moore and Benson Wilson delivered a mesmerising rendition of the timeless Samoan classic, 'Tofa My Feleni' at the #CommonwealthDay service held at at Westminster Abbey.
Through their performance, they epitomised the Commonwealth values of inclusivity, respect, and harmony that bind us together as a global community.

For those who don't know!
This is a Goodbye song that is used commonly for send off/Goodbye..
But the back story is that it was sung for the Samoan Missionaries who we're sent off knowing the next time they would return would be in a box or will never make it back from there misson to the remote islands of old times when Hannibalism existed.
