I highly commend the NZ Education System for continuing with the Island Cultural Festivals. They have come a long way since being part of it in the early 80s when most of the performers were Pacific Islanders and Maoris, and only a few brave pakehas or palagi kids dared to try, but now it is so awesome seeing them and the Asians singing, performing and reviving these old Pacific Island classics.
Thank you Aotearoa, Dilworth, Diocesan for your contribution to the multi-cultural country New Zealand truly is. Seeing other ethnicities embracing our Pacific Cultures makes us all proud!! Malo, malo lava.
It's awesome that we can get to watch quality performances. Well done to the students, who are not of pacific island descent, a beautiful performance from one and all
Is this a perfect example of cutlural appropriation? Sorry it was a little uncomfortable watching this to be honest. But hey, whatever flys your flock.... literally.

So beautiful to see non-Pacific people sing our beloved songs.
Hahahaha so true
Wdym non Pacific people? They are just as part of the pasific as we are. We are not defined by our skin colour
@Theuniverse Isaniceplace they do have a choice? they dont have to sing at all
@@louissiddell453 I think they mean non native Pacific islanders. We're all Pacific Islanders sure but not all native.

I love that there are non-islanders singing😍 But at the same time.....how come ALL the girls are non-islander? 😕
The culture of Diocesan is basically a pakeha driven one but there are the odd islanders but not a huge amount like Dilworth
malo lava very good :)

Absolutely outstanding, What are the samoan songs called

For the people who thought these girls are Palangis, some times they’re mostly the white Maoris’
What is the second song they did called?
Kotisi Kolove (Neu Mohe Ou Misi) - composed by Tu'imala Kaho
I see some of the Dilworth boys here but whatever happened to Fortissimo? Why didn't they participate in 2017?
Eric Akif they didnt make it to Nationals
Hmmm... I wonder what happened there. They've been so consistent in the past few years.
