Island Vibes - Umu (Official Music Video)

'Umu' was written as an ode to our father figures. Its a story of how our fathers would bring traditions and our cultures from the islands to Aotearoa and creating a safe space for our people to learn and reminisce during the troubles and hard times they would face during events like the Dawnraids.

Listen to 'Umu' on all music platforms, available now.
