Here is our MEHURA presentation for this year's Heiva I Tokyo. I am so proud of these girls and everything that they contribute to our group TAVAKE REREATA. 

Our MEHURA celebrates, “LA BELLE EPOQUE DE TAHITI”. Our medley captures the music and lyrics from some of the most influential Tahitian artists of all time interpreted by our RA’ATIRA PUPU, Mevina Liufau.

The first songs, KIAKU & TAGATA HURUHURU are reminiscent of the queen of PA’UMOTU MUSIC, EMMA MARITERAGI.

Next we bring back the style of yesteryear with the music of GABILOU & THE BAREFOOT BOYS. We sway to the Tahitian Waltz with the songs, KUA TUPU O TE TATARAHAPA (rarotongan) and TE TAVAKE TE MANU.

MOHI MOHI TE MORI (REMIX by MEVINA)

Here is a song that was never released on the official NONOSINA album. We never got to finish it, but here's what we came up with. One of my favorite Rarotongan songs

TAKU KIMI ANGA feat. VOKA MATAELE and MEVINA

Parau Noa mai (original by LOÏC)

I to tāua parauparau maru noara’a
To ‘oe reo te taui tō’u nei huru
E ua ‘ite parau vau to ‘oe hina’aro
Parau noa mai, parau noa mai

E au to ‘oe reo, E aha atu ai ā ?
To ‘oe tino I te nehenehe
E ua ‘ite parau vau to ‘oe hina’aro
Parau noa mai, parau noa mai




Let’s kindly talk together
Your words will change my mood
I used to know what you wanted
So, talk to me, talk to me

I love your voice, what more do you want?
Your body is so beautiful
I used to know what you wanted
So, tell me, tell me

PARAU NOA MAI
