HANISI MALONEY - DANCE ROTUMA

ffm.to/dancero...
“My journey in music began at an early age as I come from a very musical family, who played brass & stringed instruments in church with my outrageously talented mum and her aunties harmonizing. With a lot of love she taught me to play guitar & ukulele at the tender age of 6. With hindsight I reflect and am grateful for her vision for me.
My church & the entertainment industry here in Fiji provided me with a platform, to home in on my art as a musician, both as a singer & instrumentalist (BLACK ROSE, DIVINE). After all that exposure, some 20 years, I chose to focus on creating music using the beautiful tunes & compositions that were not exposed to the world, from my intriguing island of Rotuma.
Personally my mum instilled a profound love for my culture and its purity thus I used that to carefully guide the way I projected my renditions at times collaborating using our Fijian & Indo-Fijian chants and “vucu” to channel interest among our ethnic groups.
There is so much in music that an artist can amplify and draw from, and I am blessed to be able to be a part of that process. Bridging a gap where only music can rectify.”
