Heart of ROTUMA -

Enjoy this song dedicated to ROTUMA. This song is a celebration about the beautiful heritage of the people of Rotuma. Rotuma is a remote volcanic island cluster located approximately 400 miles north of Fiji, standing as a distinct cultural world within the nation. Although politically Fijian, Rotumans are a unique Polynesian people with ancestral ties closer to Samoa and Tonga than the rest of Fiji. They speak Fäeag Rotuam, a language famous among linguists for its complexity and the rare trait of metathesis, where sound structures are flipped. The island is renowned for Fara, a lively six-week summer festival where groups roam from house to house to celebrate with singing and dancing. This tradition embodies the spirit of hanisu, or love and generosity, which binds the community together as one family. Their immense skill is further displayed in the creation of apei, fine white mats considered among the most prestigious and sacred gifts in the Pacific.
