It’s probably people who don’t understand our culture, which is ok.

I was shocked to see more than a 100 thumbs down to such a beautiful dance that explains a bit about our Samoan independence. Maybe they're non Samoans that don't understand ♥️🤔

Wow! A most beautiful siva Samoa I've ever seen..Im not a Samoan but im crazy watching this n try to learnt coz i love Samoan dance..Alofa atu teine Samoa🌸

very traditional! seen many taupous dance but been waiting for one that would stand out, with grace and keeping to our traditions....watching this reminds me of how my grandma, once a great taupou , used to dance....none of that new age nonsense just good old Samoan dance! Thank you for sharing. Proud.

eyes followed hand movements all the way with a smile...good choice of song....graceful throughout...yes...I would say I LIKED this performance very much.

Absolutely one of my favorite taupou siva, graceful and elegant.. loved it! So proud to be Samoan. 💗

Absolutely beautiful. I love watching you dance Ruta x

One of the best I've seen yet! Beautiful.

this is the most beautiful siva samoa I've seen in a long time. being a nz born and not being overly exposed to our aganu'u, I was pretty mesmerized throughout the entire siva and feel so proud of her performance and our little nation. the teachers training college choir was an awesome touch as well.

Aww, that's so great to hear (I am also so so flattered!) Didn't think a siva would inspire others to siva also, thank you for your kind words x

Beautiful 👏 It really doesn't get any better than this. Perfect song selection as well, bringing the old and new together. Makes me even more prouder of who I am no matter where I am!

I often come back to this video since I came across it around my 21st (4 years ago). My favourite siva performance to watch and try emulate! Do you have the mp3 version of Manu o le Vaveao? If yes would you please consider emailing it to me? ☺ my family only has the casette and I'd love to do this song at my upcoming graduation dinner...

Hi Adeleina, Thanks for your lovely comment! Sorry it has taken me a while to write back - let me know if you still need an mp3 version of this song and I can try and look for my copy for you. It's a very simple Siva Samoa, it's all in the conviction & execution of it! :)
