Hereiti Choreography | TAKEAU SAMUEL | Te Kapua’anga

Cook Islands choreographer Hereiti Makitea'a showcases 'kapua'anga' or creation through dance, song and beats.  

These different elements create a beautiful story when performed by dancer Keana Teina.

This Cook Island traditional Pe’e was written by the Late Takeau Samuel. He tells the story of how the world was created through trial and tribulation.

The Cook Island drum beat was composed by the talented Jarome Pare.
