Nice guitar work - lovely Fijian song recorded by Fijian boy soprano Lagani Rabukawaqa in the 1980's - he was popular not only in Fiji but many other Pacific countries for his clearly pronounced lyrics in the Fijian Bau language which were easy to sing along to even if you had no idea what they meant. NB In Fiji "g" is pronounced "ng" as in 'sing', "q" is pronounced "nng" as in 'kangaroo' and "c" is a voiced "th" as in 'this'.

‘Kauti au lesu vei kemuni. Meu bau rogoca tale na domomuni’ ISA!! Another of my childhood sing along song I laughed when I read this line “I remember belting this tune out, quiet convinced I sounded like him too”. Ha ha!! I used to think the same thing Thank you for this upload miizem. Nice pictures too!
This is awesome and it reminded me of those days at USP campus, Suva when Lagani sang in the Lecture Theatre (U8) in 1981. Yes, I love singing this song too.Thanks for sharing this lovely song.
