Masese (Cover/Revised) - DJFijiVibes

"Masese" is more than just a song; it is the sound of a Pacific sunset. It is the audio equivalent of the tanoa (kava bowl) being filled, a signal that the work day is done, the sun is dipping below the horizon, and it’s time to gather with family ("aiga," "vuvale," "ohana") to wash away the worries of the world. When that opening guitar strum hits—fast, rhythmic, and undeniably happy—it triggers an automatic response across the South Pacific. Aunties get up to dance, uncles start clapping off-beat but with full spirit, and for a few minutes, everyone is united in the same joyful rhythm. It represents that specific, beautiful island chaos of laughter, smoke, kava, and timeless togetherness. While Kapena made this song a household name in Hawaii and across the diaspora, its roots are deeply planted in Fiji. The Origins: Composer: The song was originally written and composed by Sakiusa Bulicokocoko, a legendary Fijian musician who was blind and known for his incredible musical talent. The Kapena Connection: Kapena, the Hawaiian super-group (featuring Kelly Boy DeLima and the Tatofi brothers), released their version in the early 1990s. It became a massive cross-cultural hit, bridging the gap between Hawaiian reggae and traditional Fijian tunes. What the Lyrics Mean: The song is actually a humorous and relatable "party blues" track. The narrator is expressing sadness or stress and looking for the simple comforts of island life to fix it. "Masese": Translates to "Matches." "Au sa rarawa": Means "I am sad" or "I am worried." "Yaqona": Refers to Kava. "Tavako": Refers to Tobacco. The Story: The singer is saying, "I'm sad/stressed, so I'm going to drink kava. Where are the matches (masese) for my tobacco?" It’s essentially a song about looking for a light to smoke and relax while drinking kava with friends.
