This verse of ‘Tulolo, Nofo’ by was an idea my husband had mentioned since 2020, yes, wayyy back 😆. When he first mentioned the song, I initially thought it wasn’t my style, but he insisted I listen to it with an artist’s ear, coupled with a vision of an A’o Siva. So ofc, the more I listened to it the more I could see the vision. Then he specifically requested that we use it only if Teine Lalelei Dance Academy performs for American Samoa's Flag, because of how powerful the vocals are and how this verse feels like a time capsule. Connecting our memories to Flag Day back in the day. This creative ‘tulolo, nofo’ insert melts right into a Sasa choreographed by my Sister Taumaoe. Drumming by Mauga Mu. Six years later, this powerful, rockstar rendition of ‘Tulolo, Nofo’ by was one of our many favorite pieces from our very first Flag Day
performance.
