Poly Songbook: Pele Moana - Joanna Mika

Joanna Mika performs this beautiful rendition of a 'Golden Ali'is' cover - 'Pele Moana'.

'Pele Moana' is the Samoan version of an old 50s country song called 'Blue Darling' which Hawaiian band 'Kapena' covered and made popular in more recent times.

During Covid the Muliaga Mamaia / Golden Ali'is Samoan version and lyrics went viral again after French singer Chloe Black covered it in her 'Around the World in Covid19 days' challenge.
