Traditional Pacific dances?! This week we are deep diving into a corner of the world never featured before on this podcast!
Meet Leki Jackson-Bourke: a creative/performing artist of Tongan, Niuean and Samoan descent. "It makes me proud knowing that we descend from greatness and seeing our ancestors thrive and live through us and our cultural heritage art forms. Our ancestors were visionary, forward-thinking, and innovative. They left us gifts that outlived them and it's evident today through the Ta'ovalas we tie, the tapa & mats we sit on, the kahoa's we wear around our necks, the kava we drink, the words and songs we sing, the patterns of our tatau we proudly display today. It's all around us - our culture survives through art!" (Article by @thecoconettv)
