Lau Omea from Sifoa by Natty Dolaiasi

"Lau Omea," is not merely a song but an ancestral call of the ocean. It was a melody sung by the souls of those who had journeyed far and wide across the waters, a plea to the mighty sea to be gentle and kind to those who traversed its domain. Warriors preparing for battle, fishermen embarking on their daily quest for bounty, and families setting sail to distant shores all sought the blessing of "Lau Omea" before their departure.

The song echoed through the village during the twilight hours when the sky kissed the sea, painting it with hues of gold and crimson. As the villagers gathered on the shore, their voices intertwined with the whisper of the wind and the lapping of the waves. They sang with reverence and humility, invoking the spirits of their ancestors who had navigated these waters before them.
