This is a live recording made 15 August 2010 in Vava'u, Tonga. It is from a kava party and ukelele music session thrown by and in honor of the crew of the vaka "O Tahiti Nuie Freedom", which stopped over in Vava'u for several days while en route from Tahiti to Shanghai, China. The musicians are the captain and some of the crew, the real deal, and the best ukelele players I heard during my ten weeks there. In the background you can hear the periodic 1-2-3 clapping of hands which is the kava drinker's way of requesting a serving from the master of ceremonies. It was a great night!
