Vibes are high as a tsunami of red reaches the shores of Aotearoa to celebrate Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e lea faka-Tonga - Tonga Language Week.

Auckland-based nine-piece band, Island Vibes, has welcomed the rush of MMT pride with the release of their latest song, Tonga Tū Ketau Tuē.

Written entirely in Lea Faka-Tonga, the song strengthens the legacy of Tongan music traditions and evokes the atmosphere of the kava circle.
