    This release is a way for us to share 'Our Island' beyond the song, its 60-page booklet gives full lyric translations along with artists' insights into their songs, and illustrations of the artists created from cultural elements and nature grant us a pathway to explore their cultural perspectives. With a hands-on meditation of creating your own globe, ‘Our Island’ is in your hands.

    ‘Our Island’ was recorded remotely from our island homes. Many of us have never met in person, we are yet to discover if we have legs. Online we shared our stories, songs, concerns and loves, usually interrupted by Sammy’s spontaneous Kabosy solos, Putad, Vaiteani & Luc’s children or our internet freezing again (even in the tropics!).

    We could support each other in our concerns for our planet, we know at times these feelings are overwhelming, that’s a healthy response, but know you are not alone, there are many sharing these feelings. We are a part of a movement, a momentum for cultural change which puts our relationship to our planet at its core.

    Available at our concerts, bandcamp & our website.

about

The ocean carries life.

lyrics

By Emlyn
Deep underwater in her womb,
the ocean carries life.
The ocean gives us the air we breathe.
The tide plays the sound of peace
when it's calm and power when it is angry.
We have seen our lagoons dying,
day by day
Fishes, corals,
all types of animals are disappearing.
Beaches turning into just a childhood memory.
If we can't protect what is left,
The ocean dies,
It's the end.
