Haoloto
– the sixth Te Vaka album – delivers the same South
Pacific Fusion that has made the band such an international success,
but with some exciting, new sounds. As Opetaia Foai, lead singer
and songwriter for the group, says in the liner notes - “This
album has been the most challenging and most satisfying of all the
Te Vaka albums. Once the canoe got rolling with all on board there
was a feeling that we were heading for somewhere special.”
Haoloto contains 15 new tracks and a 16 page
booklet with words and translations.

..."On this,
their fifth album,
Te Vaka confirm they are the most important voice out of the
broader Pacific region and thatmulti-instrumentalist Foa'i
remains apotent songwriting force." ...NZ Herald

but not too provincial, funky but not too Western, polished
but not too slick..."

..."There
is plenty of lip service paid to Pacific culture but Foa’i’s
Te Vaka is the real oil: this is the canoe undertaking the
great migration. To be moved by something so familiar, so
pervasive it is taken for granted, is like rediscovering
your own heartbeat"...

Polynesian
character really shines through on this one.
They've hit the right balance"... Froots UK

Seas"...
