Summary
Nukukehe, released in 2002, is the third album by the Oceanic group, Te Vaka. This album is dedicated to environmental groups around the world for caring enough to do something about it. The song "Sei Ma Le Losa" was written for David McTaggart, who was killed in a car accident the previous year. "Loimata e Maligi" (lit.
