- Te Vaka is a unique group of ten musicians and dancers from Tokelau, Tuvalu, Samoa, Cook Islands, and New Zealand brought together under the inspired leadership of Opetaia Foa'i. They have been wowing international audiences since 1997, presenting a rich, luscious mix of Polynesia's ancient culture, to the modern world and have just been announced the winners of the “Best Pacific Group” award in the 2008 Pacific Music Awards”
Opetaia Foa’i is the songwriter/ lead vocalist of the group. His inspiration comes from his multi-cultural upbringing - half Tokelauan, half Tuvaluan, born in Samoa and bought up in a Tokelauan community in New Zealand. Opetaia’s musical background spans both the traditional and the diverse influences of contemporary metropolitan culture. Described as “one of New Zealand’s finest songwriters” and “ a true son of the Pacific”, he won the Senior Pacific Artist award in 2005 for his contribution to the Pacific Arts.

"In humility I speak to you. My voice is not a rushing wind, its gentle yet piercing. Don't forget it's our heritage, don't forget it's our flesh and bones handed down to us through our ancestors."
"A fishing line that broke, a fish that broke off from the line. Heed to that still small voice, your ancestors whisper saying - its yours"
