Happy #SamoanLanguageWeek ✨

For Samoan Language Week, we celebrate the power of gagana Samoa in all its forms, spoken, written, and sung. One of the most powerful ways our language continues to live and breathe is through music, where stories are preserved, emotions are carried, and names are remembered across generations.

Taute Lo’u Au is one of those timeless songs. Written in 1981 by Fafo Aulalo of tiamaa__, it has become more than just a love song. It is a piece of Samoan history that continues to be played, sung, and loved across American Samoa, Samoa and the Pacific. 🇦🇸🌊🇼🇸 Through its lyrics and melody, we hear language that holds memory, place, and connection, reminding us how deeply music and gagana Samoa are tied together.

And if you know this song, you know. 🎶🎧 The moment it starts, even within the first few seconds, you already feel it. You already feel what kind of song it is. That is the power of a true classic. 🔥▶️

This Samoan Language Week, we honor the songs that carry our language forward and keep our stories alive.

Taute Lo’u Au is one of them.

Rest in love, Taute. 🤍🕊️
