John Kamoe Fatiaki is from an island near Fiji called Rotuma. I met him & his nephew Homer Bently in Hawaii in 1999 at the HSGA convention. Rotumans are Polynesians.

-----------------------------------------------------
Rotuma is a volcanic island of approximately 43 sq. kilometers, located at 12 degrees south latitude and 177 degrees east longitude, approximately 465 kilometers north of Fiji. Although the island has been politically part of Fiji since 1881, Rotuman culture more closely resembles that of the Polynesian islands to the east, most noticeably Tonga, Samoa, Futuna and Uvea. Because of their Polynesian appearance and distinctive language, Rotumans now constitute a recognizable minority group within the Republic of Fiji. |

Hi Roger,
Although I enjoyed the playing, the sound seemed to be out of sync with the video! So much so that I thought they were playing a different tune according to the tone bar positions.
Nice tune though,

This is a home recording so the sync may be difficult to get it correct.
