Vegapitu (Makerupu Village, Central Province)

🎵 Vegapitu – Makerupu (Traditional / Classic Revival)
Hula History Project | Vulaa Kunenai

“Vegapitu” is a well-loved song from Makerupu, sharing a familiar and beautiful melodic feel with the song “Heabitu.” This version is part of our ongoing effort to preserve, revisit, and respectfully share classic coastal and village songs from our region.

We originally set out to create a full video for this song, but the video generation process was cut short before completion. Rather than let the song sit unheard, we’re sharing it here as part of our living archive of music and memory.

🙏 Calling on the community:
We would love your help. If you know:

the composer,
the original band, or
any historical background of Vegabitu,

please share the details in the comments. Our intention is to acknowledge and credit the original creators properly, both in the title and description, and to pay respect to those who carried this song before us.

This project is about honour, memory, and continuity—keeping our music alive while giving credit where it is due.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and helping us tell the story correctly.
