I remember this picture back in school in Raiwaqa Methodist Primary School when I was young.Growing up in Raiwaqa and Raiwai and the Duavata taxi where we used to do car wash for a 20cents which was alot of money at that time when I was just a young boy in Raiwai, now seeing the whole world and travelled this song still lingers on to the bone.
remembering when the 'boyz from Raiwaqa' was our very own young hearts cry to our leaders in the 80's,, the message is still relevant 2day. Vnaka vakalevu Freddy, Ben & Max Rabaka, Steve Mocambo, Nato,Pa (small axe) Poggie, Kitkat ... way ahead of your time, warriors of love... way ahead of your time!
My hubby always love roots despite all new fiji artist songs. Now i knew. This drives the 80s kids . What a song. word by word he sang that was b4 internet. All facts🤘🤘🤘
To brother Freddy & Co, Jah bless to all of you for putting together such a very powerful album whose message was very much relevant not only to Fiji then but very much so now. To both ardent listeners and fans alike the message cannot be any clearer; UNITE NOW!!! The question that begs an answer is what is to unite us and How? History has taught us that No Govt., No Political party, No religion and No Man can Unite us except the One who created us all. Don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that our beloved nation desperately needs healing. "Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land." [2 Chronicles 7:14]

I can buy my lunch in school 4 only 30c @ the time, a bottle of milk @top shop cost about 55c n my bus fare to school n home is 10c. The lyrics n the motives n the voice recalls the turf that i once bread in. Vinaka Fuga (aka freddy fesaitu) My home turf😭🔥🤣
It’s April 2024 Iam hanging out in this summer California weather reminiscing my yester years . Fiji born Indian grew up in Nadera x-LDS . The 80s was the bomb we had the best times of our life hardly any racism back then , but this music reminds me of them golden times . Fiji bitter ❤️

Unem lament...is this song. Written by Ioane Burese. Ioane also named the band Rootstrata. As humble as he was he preferred to stay in the shadows. Was a key figure in the Almighty Jah album. God bless the Rootstrata....Ioane Freddy Ben Max kit kat Max Nato steve mccomber george fiji veikoso pakelo delai pa dennis sairusi winston ratukove pita rabaka paul suka claude larry sia and those ive failed to mention....nothing intentional...inspired by the suffering of unemployment but always kind and gracious to produce great original music. Pojie or better known as George Fiji Veikoso would hit Hawaii and the US with Warrior of Love and this song Unem Lament. Warriors of original music. Rootstrata.

Un bozu d1 frer knak en guyan
Hear me crying in the rain
I need your help, come help me now
There's so much pain
Wasted, hungry, and so much to give
And all we need is a chance to live
And just be free
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few would rule
No equal opportunity for the majority
Unite now, unite now
We got to unite now, unite now
Unemployed, I'm tired of being pushed around
By my family, by society,
but who's to blame?
Open you eyes and try to see the reality
That you can feel the way we feel
And it will open your eyes
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few can rule
No equal opportunity for majority
Unite now, unite now
We got to unite now, unite now
Attracted by the city lights many come to see
But there's nothing more than the village life
When there was so much joy
In the city you have to give a lot to live
You'll have to steal cause there's no world go round
There's so much pain
For we are the victims of this political war
We do not want our children to suffer more
In a world where only a few would rule
No equal opportunity for my family
We got to unite now, unite now (my Polynesian people)
Unite now (my Melanesian people) unite now (Micronesian people)
Hear me crying in the rain
Vinaka Rootstrata!! Jah bless
Vinaka na lewe ni sere
Vinaka na qaqa ni sere. Really what is happening today. Isaa from them days they wrote songs which is meaningful for the future.
