Tutuki (Play the Beat)

New Zealand-based Te Vaka have proved themselves to be one of the most sophisticated and professional Pacific groups around. This new recording captures the exuberance of their big live shows. "Tutuki finds all of the right balances; traditional but not too provincial, funky but not too Western, polished but not too slick." -- Seth Jordan, Songlines

Te Vaka

Revealing the true soul of the South Seas, this recording does away with the preconceptions that Pacific music is only Ukuleles and Palm trees.

Review of Te Vaka
Boy this group is fun! I've converted a number of friends into world music fans after only one listen to any of Te Vaka tunes. You can't help but dance and be lifted thousands of miles away to a less hectic life. I'll download everything WorldLink can get from these guys.


Te Vaka....let the ship sail on!
What a wonderful mix of traditional influences and forward inspired music! For all those longing for the south pacific! Warning: It is just beautiful.


Te Vaka
Love all their music


Te Vaka
These guys are unbelievably talented. A fantastic fusion of pop and traditional Samoan, Tokelau, and other pacific music. Opetaia Foa'i, the lead singer and songwriter, has a voice like silk. Nukukehe is my favorite album but Tutuki is great too.


Tamahana
I found this music by accident after a failed search of another artist; it lead me to Te Vaka instead. This group has pure, raw energy! One can't help but move to the beat. I am hooked!!! Zephyr Grace, United States



They are great. I'm looking forward to more from these folks!


Katai (on my mind)
I love this song by Te Vaka but can't seem to find it - Can anyone help me find this song ? Thanks!


Papa E
I love the lead singer's voice! The varied pace of the song also really keeps me riveted.
